The 2022 Women's Sultana Bran Hockey One was the second season of Hockey Australia's national league, Hockey One. The tournament was held across 7 states and territories of Australia. Competition commenced on 29 September, and culminated with a finals weekend running from 19 to 20 November, held in Bendigo, Victoria.[1][2]
NSW Pride won the tournament for the first time, defeating the Brisbane Blaze 3–1 in penalties after the final finished as a 2–2 draw. Perth Thundersticks claimed third place after defeating HC Melbourne 3–0.
The 2022 Hockey One season followed the same format as season one. Teams will play a series of home and away matches during the Pool Stage, which will be followed by a Classification Round.
During the pool stage, teams played each other once in either a home or a way fixture. The top four ranked teams qualified for the classification round, playing in two semi-finals with the winners contesting the final and losers the third place match. Unlike season one, where Team 1 hosted Team 4 and Team 2 hosted Team 3, the finals were held over a single weekend at a central location.
Rules
In addition to FIH sanctioned rules, Hockey Australia is implementing the following rules for Hockey One:
- When a field goal or penalty stroke is scored the same athlete will have an automatic one-on-one shootout with the goalkeeper for an extra goal.
- Outright winner: There will be no drawn games. In the event of a draw, teams will contest a penalty shoot-out to determine a winner.
Point allocation
Match points will be distributed as follows:
- 5 points: win
- 3 points: shoot-out win
- 2 points: shoot-out loss
- 0 points: loss
