First answer these questions: how well do you skate(especially backwards)? How well do you stickhandle? pass? Is your wrist shot accurate? do you have a hard slapshot? How is your endurance? Are you disciplined defensively? Do you need to have assists and goals to feel like you did something to help your team win? To help:
Goalie -- You must be mentally tough. Can you forget about a goal you gave up and continue to concentrate. Can you skate well backwards and laterally?
Defense -- Do you skate well backwards? Can you think in terms of who scored AGAINST you while you were on the ice? Do you have a hard, low slapshot?
Wing -- Can you go into the corners and come out with the puck? Do you have an accurate wrist shot?
Center -- Do you have skills with the puck (stickhandling and passing)? Do you have good peripheral vision? You will have to skate hard to be near the puck at all times -- are you up to it?
Hope this helps!

Clueless gave you a really-great answer...
I can only add - What hand are you? (right or left?)
Answer Clueless's questions and you, and your coach, will have your answer.

I can also add - that learning all postions can only benifit your team and your career. Too many players today are 1-dimentional.
