HOCKEY POSITIONS EXPLAINED
Goaltender |
|
This player's job is to keep the puck out of his team's net. He can use any part of his body or any piece of equipment to do so and is also allowed to catch or smother the puck.
|
Left |
|
The
center primarily operates up and down
the middle of the ice but also has more
freedom to roam than his linemates.
He is the playmaker, passing between
his two wings to set up a goal. Defensively,
he tries to keep the play in the attacking
zone by harassing the opposing team's
puck carrier. As the play moves back
toward his own goal, it's his job to
hustle back and try to break up the
opposing team's play.
|
Right/Left Wings |
|
These
players predominately move up and down
the sides of the rink with the direction
of play. Offensively, they skate alongside
the center, passing back and forth and
positioning themselves for a shot on
goal. In the defensive zone, they guard
the opponents pointmen and try to keep
them from shooting.
|
Right/Left Defensemen |
|
These
two players try to stop the incoming
play from the other team before any
chance of scoring is possible. They
block shots, clear the puck from in
front of their own net and cover the
other team's forwards. Offensively,
they pass the puck up the ice to the
forwards, then follow the play into
the attacking zone and try to keep it
there.
|
Player Lines & "Changing on the Fly" |
|
Because
hockey doesn't demand a stop in play
for substitutions, players can go on
and off the ice while play is in progress.
Each line, which consists of groups
of three forwards or two defensemen,
change about every minute. Each team
usually carries four lines of forwards
(center, left wing and right wing) and
three sets of defensemen. NHL teams
can carry up to 24 players on their active roster.
