Hockey Position Explanations

Goalkeeper (1) – The responsibility of the goalkeeper is to keep the puck out of back of his net. Offensively, he starts his team down the ice with a pass but seldom leaves the net.

 
Left / Right Defenseman (2) –  They try to stop the incoming play at their blue line. They also try to block shots, cover opposing forwards and clear the puck from in front of their goal. On offense, they get the puck to their center and wings.
 
Center (1) – The middle of the ice from end to end is his primary territory. He leads the attack by carrying the puck. He exchanges passes with his wings to steer the play towards the goal. On defense he tries to break up a play before it gets to his team’s ice and harasses the opponent in the neutral and defending zones.
 
Right Wings/Left Wings (2) – Moving up and down the sides of the ice with the direction of play, the wings work with the center on the attack. Defensively, they try to disrupt opposing wings.
