...difference between ice polo and hockey is, roughly, as follows: Ice polo is played with narrow sticks and a rubber ball and the goal posts are 4 feet apart and 18 inches high. In hockey the players use sticks broad and flat at the end, and a block or "puck" of solid rubber. The goal posts are 5 feet apart and 4 feet high.
