Nope-Hockey is played exclusively on Astro-turf and that turf is different. FIH has to approve that turf-much harder and it soaks lot of water too. Also hockey pitch size is different. Hockey grounds are much smaller.
Info from wikipedia- Field hockey artificial turf differs from football
and gridiron artificial turf in that it does not try to reproduce a
grass 'feel', being made of shorter fibres similar to the ones used on
Dunfermline's field. This shorter fibre structure allows the improvement
in speed brought by earlier artificial turfs to be retained.
Having said that, in olden days hockey was played on grass. 1982 World Cup Hockey matches were played in wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
