An Introduction To Hockey
Hockey is a sport that is enjoyed by many players and fans.
Because it is most frequently played on ice (professionally
anyway), it is often referred to as ice hockey, though there are
some variations of the game using a roller rink rather than an
ice rink making it possible for those who don't have the benefit
of ice rinks to engage in the game for fun. Hockey that isn't
played on the ice is generally referred to as roller hockey.
Ice hockey is played in a 200 foot by 85 foot rink. Lines are
painted on the ice to mark various zones. The red line in the
center of the rink marks the middle of the ice so the hockey
players can tell how far to shoot. Blue lines are used to mark
the three zones of the ice - the defending zone, the attacking
zone and the neutral zone.
One each end of the rink, in the center of the ice is a set of
goal posts which are set six feet apart, and a net. Between the
goal posts there is a red line painted on the ice which is
called a goal line. The object of the game of hockey is to make
goals by knocking the hockey puck into the net using a hockey
stick. A team achieves points when the puck crosses the goal
line and goes into the net which oddly enough is also called the
goal. The blue area in front of the goal that is painted in
blue
is called the crease. Only the goaltender is allowed in the
crease, so if a player skates into the crease while attempting
to make a goal, they may get an interference penalty.
Generally there are six players per team on the ice at one time.
The three players that line up at the front of the team are
called forwards and they mainly serve as the team's offense.
Depending on their placement they are referred to as the right
wing, the center and the left wing. Behind the forwards are two
defensemen, one on the right and one on the left. The sixth
player is the goaltender, also called a goalie. The goalie
generally stays in the crease to protect defensive zone, the
defensemen also defend the goal as the forwards attempt to make
goals for the team. Forwards and defensemen are allowed to
provide both offense and defense for their team as they react to
the activity of the game. At the end of three twenty-minute
periods, the hockey team with the highest score wins. Tied games
go into a five-minute period of overtime.
