The Team
An ice hockey team has a maximum of six players on the ice at any one time. These players generally include:
Goaltender (one): The primary responsibility of the goalie is to guard the team's goal and prevents the opposing team from scoring.
Defensemen (two): The primary responsibility of defensemen is to prevent the opposing team from having a good shot at the goal and attempt to gain possession of the puck and pass to teammates to initiate an offensive scoring opportunity.
Forwards (three -- right wing, center, and left wing): The primary responsibility of the forwards is to score. However, forwards also assist the defensemen by back-checking after their team has yielded control of the puck to the opposition.
The Game
Ice hockey is played on a rink, a sheet of ice which is approximately two-thirds the size of a football field, usually between 185 and 200 feet long and about 85 feet wide.
The game is played in three periods of equal length -- 20 minutes for each period at most levels, but often 12 or 15 minutes in youth classifications.
Playing Zones
The ice surface is divided by blue lines into three zones: defensive, offensive, and neutral. The defensive zone is the area in which a team protects its own goal and attempts to keep the opposition from scoring. This same zone is the opposing team's offensive zone, or the area in which they are attempting to score.
The Officials
At higher levels of ice hockey competition, three officials -- one referee (identified by an orange arm band) and two linesmen -- are utilized.
At the youth level, two officials -- both of whom are referees -- are common.
The referee is the ultimate authority during the game and is primarily responsible for calling penalties and determining if goals have been legally scored.
The primary responsibilities of the linesmen include determining violations of off-side and icing while assisting the referee in enforcing the rules of the game.
Playing Hockey
Playing hockey involves four basic skills: skating, passing, stickhandling, and shooting.
Skating: This is the skill that makes hockey unique. Players at all levels of the sport continually strive to improve their skating. Without adequate skating ability, players are less able to perform the other essential skills of the sport.
Passing: Passing makes hockey a true team sport and helps make the game fun. Passing gets everyone on the ice involved in the action and turns scoring into a team effort. Passing allows the thrill of scoring to be shared.
Stickhandling: This is perhaps the most difficult of the basic skills to master. It allows a skilled player to maneuver around opponents and create better offensive opportunities.
Shooting: Of course, shooting is the end result of an offensive team play. It is the action that produces a goal. Many players spend most of their time practicing shooting because they believe scoring is the most fun. Players should, however, place an equal emphasis on the other basic skills of hockey, given the fact most players generally take fewer than six shots in an entire game.
And don cherry is a diferent story. Don't bother asking what is don cherry okay. Go get those portuguese puntos.

Hockey blinds the people.TheOak01 said:
Think of it this way. Think about how important elections are and how we are getting screwed with the high taxes. Think about how the workers are paying the way for the elderly and the weak and poor. Think about how we DON'T have private healthcare. Think about how we DON'T have more privatization. Think about how much government intervention is involved in our daily lifes?
Do we care? For the most part, nope. Why? Cause we talk about hockey.
Hockey. A fucking game with a bunch of people on ice with sticks.
Do we care about privatization and how we could be the #1 near shore choice? Nope, we talk about hockey, beer, and Tim Hortons. "Its the Canadian thing." To play nice. To take it.
I can't count the number of times I've heard "did you hear about the game last night..."
I can count the number of times I have heard people talking about what we could do to lower our taxes and privatize more. 14 times.
Hockey is evil because it distracts the canucks from the issues at hand. They can't see the "liberal agenda". The just vote and do whatever they can to get back to hockey.
BAH!
That's why I hate hockey.
True about baseball (not sure about football).TheOak01 said:
But, when I think about Americans, I don't think generally baseball. I think of multinationals.
However, the population of Canada is much smaller. So its easy to stereotype them as hockey loving, tim hortons drinking, beer swilling bastards.
