Francis "King" Clancy played every position in a playoff series against between the Ottawa Senators and the Vancouver Maroons in 1923 Stanley Cup semi finals. This was the first time that a player had played every position, and it remains the only time a player has played every position in the same playoff series.

Ranked by difficulty: 1. NFL Quarterback 2. NHL Goalie - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- 3. NBA pointguard As you can see both a hockey goalie and the NFL quarterback jobs are very difficult but as indicated by the large space. the NBA point guard position not close to the difficulty level of the other two.) Because a NFL Quarterback is in charge of exactly 1/4th of the plays his teams make. He messes up and 1/2 of the offense of a team is messed up. Also he has only a few seconds to decide who to throw the ball and he needs to ascertain what the defense is likely to do. Though he has 3 chances (not 4, someone said that but unless they want to risk turning the ball over no one uses 4) if the quarterback screws up one chance it's all over and he gets heavy criticism. Also, the quarterback has to deal with many forceful hits and the psychological effect a person gets when he knows he will get easily affects a person's decision-making. Now, in a close second, the NHL goalie is the second hardest position (I being one). You had to wear 50 pounds of equipment that weighed down on you and you barely got a break. Also, one only gets once chance to make a stop. Every single mistake a goalie makes in any cases gets counted against them. There is rarely an instance where a goal is not a goalie's fault (exceptions-breakaway, just a really good shot). Also, the goalie plays all 60 minutes unlike the point guard and the quarterback. If someone thinks a goalie standing still is an easy job they are idiots because goalies are constantly alert and making plays whereas point guards are constantly walking with the ball and just making a few decisions here and there.

Yes
Charlie Conacher did it in the 30s. Not all in the same game though.

i dont think so, however players like Gonchar, Niedemyer, and Phaenuf are all high scoring defensemen, and i know many teams put wingers on defense for the Power Play, although they dont really play defense, they kinda just hover around the blue line waiting for a chance to snipe out a goal.

No but wouldn't that be something. I think the only one that could pull it off well is Nick Lidstrom.
