What is hacking?
Hacking in field hockey, which results in a penalty, is when a player attempts to steal the ball from the opposing team by slapping the stick of the player with control of the ball. This produces a clunking noise and does not go unnoticed by referees. In a field hockey game, about half of the whistles are most likely due to hacking.
