Offensive zone, play in the high slot or down low in your own corner. In the defensive zone stay in close proximity to your opposing defenceman, to cut off the pass to him or take the pass to break out of your own zone.

Agree with John F. on this, a right wing patrols the right side, covering the point in the defensive end and going into the corner in the offensive end. If the puck is on the other side of the ice on offense, try and find you self some open ice and get ready for a pass. When you lose possession hustle you butt back and look for an open man to cover. A good winger looks after things at both ends of the ice.
And in the words of the great Red Green, "Keep you stick on the ice."

In the defensive zone, right wings are not to let the Left Defenseman get closer to the goal than they are. In general we cover that point man-to man, however we are often needed to come down and help out on the half-boards and top of the circles on opposing forwards who have shook loose from their coverage.
In transition, the right wing comes to the wall at the top of the defensive circle to give the defenseman a place to pass, then we look for the center or far wing to "break out" the puck from the zone. Often, we have room to skate and pass from this spot as well. If the defensman passes it up the opposite side, then the RW attempts to give a pssing lane to whoever has the puck.
On offense the RW fills his side of the ice, often driving hard at the far post to get rebounds or passes. We often end up rotating down low with the other forwards and need to keep moving to open ice to give people a chance to pass to him, and him a chance to score.

offense: IN FROMT OF THE opposing NET u want to screen the goalie/get a deflection on a shoot and or get a rebound stay in the goalies face. defense: COVER THE DEFENSEMEN ON THE POINT what ever you do dont let him get a shoot off. DONT CHASE THE PUCK IN YOUR ZONE! stay on your man or by the boards ready for a pass. when your team gets the puck in your zone stay on the boards because the pass could come to you. thats what i do ad it works pretty well. o and if your defense man go on a rush COVER THE POINT for them dont want to risk a turnover and then having all your guys trapped in the one while the other team has a breakaway

If you're looking purely for fundamentals, you typically stay on the right side of the rink, usually you go into the right corner, you'll stick in the defensive zone on the right point. but at the same time, depending on the system your coach would play, you may do something different.

Depends on the offencive scheme, also where Center is, who has puck etc.
Middle or Right side, closer to their net than yours.
Offence-Pass, skate, shoot, help C and LW.
Defence-Check, Hit, Fight(?), help D clear zone.

they should follow the puck, if they get near your goal, they shoud clear it out, if they get it near the other goal, attemt to score
