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.
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.
Competition format Format 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
Participating teams The seven teams competing in the league come from Australia's states and territories, with the Northern Territory being the only team absent.
