There are five players typically divided into three forwards and two defensemen. Theforward positions consist of a centre and two wingers: a left wing and a right wing.Forwards often play together as units or lines, with the same three forwards alwaysplaying together. The defensemen usually stay together as a pair, but may change lessfrequently than the forwards. A substitution of an entire unit at once is called a linechange. The point of each line is to score as many goals in the net.
However, there is a six position, called the goal tender who will try to stop the puckfrom going into the net.
Offside: A player may not skate into his offensive zone ahead of the puck. If that happens, a whistle is blown,and a face-off is held just outside the zone where the breach-offside- occurred.
Icing: Icing is called when a player behind the red line in his end of the rink shoots a puck past the goal line in hisoffensive zone when both teams are playing at even strength. Play is stopped when an opponent other than thegoalie touches the puck.
Two-Line Pass: An offside pass is also called a two-line pass. A defenseman with the puck in front of his ownnet, for example, cannot pass it to a teammate beyond the red line at center ice because it would have to go overtwo lines, first the blue and then the red, to get there.
Tripping: Using a stick, arm, or leg to cause an opponent to trip or fall is illegal in the game.
Hooking: If a player impedes the progress of another by "hooking" him with his stick and keeping him frommaking a play, then he is called for hooking.
Cross Checking: If a player picks their stick up off of the ice and holds it in two hands to check an opponent(using the shaft of the stick), they may be called for cross checking.
Holding: Using your hands on an opponent or the opponent's equipment to impede their progress is notpermitted.
Boarding: The officials whistle for this infraction when a player hits an opponent who is not aware of theimpending contact and therefore cannot defend himself from behind.
Charging: This penalty occurs when a player takes more than three strides before deliberately checking anopponent.
High Sticking: Any contact made by a stick on an opponent above the shoulders is not allowed, and a minorpenalty will be assessed.
