For those who asking about the field size and construction, from the rules:

Law 1: The pitch

"Dimensions: The pitch must be rectangular. The length of the touchline must be greater than the length of the goal line."

"Length minimum 25 m, maximum 42 m; Width minimum 15 m, maximum 25 m"

"International matches: Length minimum 38 m, maximum 42 m; Width minimum 18 m, maximum 22 m"

"Surface of the pitch: The surface is smooth and flat and non-abrasive. The use of wood or artificial material is recommended. Concrete or tarmac should be avoided."

Decisions

"2. The use of natural turf, artificial turf or soil is permitted for matches played in domestic competitions, but not for international fixtures."

Pulling out the Windows Calculator: Let's take the minimum international distance (38-by-18 m), which comes out to 124.7-by-59.1 feet, which would fit in an 200-by-85 foot American ice hockey rink, with good amount of space all around.
