I see, I thought they called an stick tackle. 

 

Still, a lot of those backstick calls are usually doubtful to me, but unlike the ref I'm only watching from far away so... fine.

Nope. That's why you see players doing like a circle movement to pass the ball sometimes, unlike ice hockey where they just dribble the puck however they want.

 

The field hockey stick has a flat side and curved side, only the flat side can touch the ball.

Watched it a couple of times, but NEVER realized that

 

Thanks a lot. so basically the most important rules to know for a layman is the goal can not be scored from outside the goal circle (or however it is called) and you have to play the ball only by stick and only with the flat side. I learned the first one thanks re-watchin Rio replays  

 

Looks like a nice sport, pity I don´t have too much chances to watch it
