On ice speak for hockey players?

Question

When your teammates say, "Go one!" when on the puck in your own zone, what are they trying to say? I've just begun playing drop-in hockey, and feel bad that I don't understand what they are telling me to do. Most of them seem fed up that I don't understand, but won't just tell me. Thanks.

Answer 1

It means "piss off sissy boy,you're nothing but a pylon out here."

Answer 2

Don't feel bad. I've been playing 12 years and I don't know what "go one" means.

Some others that might help:

One on - You have the puck and one opposing player is trailing you, usually from a direction where you can't see them.

Time - You have a little time to work with. Get the puck, take a look at your options.

Drop - A player from your own team is following you, and wants you to do a drop pass. (just stop it dead on the ice)

Screen - If your goalie says Screen, you are in his way.

Slot; Point; Center, Boards: People are telling you where they are, and want a pass to that location.

Hard around: In your zone, hit it as hard as you can back around the boards, behind the goalie, to the other side of the ice.

Answer 3

Possibly line change. Line one's turn. Players on ice should get ready to get off, and the person with the puck should get it over center and dump it in deep, and skate to the bench - if that is the standard play the team uses.

Answer 4

Or it might mean 1 man pressuring. People will call that out if you are chasing the puck with your back turned to everyone else.... may just be letting you know someone is coming. Im use to hearing it as "One on", but im sure its different in different places.

Answer 5

If your playing on a team then you need to ask what everything means if you don't know.

Answer 6

You mean there was no F-word in what he said? It couldn't have been a hockey player then. ;-)
