There are two key rules you need to understand: icing and offsides. Here's a diagram to help understand the two (but ignore the orange one in the middle - they got rid of that rule).
Everything else is really pretty intuitive overall. Don't trip people. Don't hit people unless they have (or recently had) the puck. Don't "hook" people to prevent them from getting to the puck. Don't hit people in the back when they're up against the boards. Those kinds of things.
