Look here lil_Kim, we don't need your kind in the hockey section. If you really want to know about hockey what you need to do is get off your boney backside and go see a game!!! Perhaps you should find a friend with season tickets and get him to get you some discounted tickets and go to a game. You know, I bet you are a redhead. I have a friend that craps his pants by the way. GO CAPS!!!

In hockey, you score by putting a puck into a goal. To make this into the goal, you have to skate down with the puck, utilizing your other four players, and get the puck past the goalie. It is a very simple game, and the rules are not that tough to understand.

You score in hockey by putting the puck past the "score line" (but under the "crossbar" and between the "pipes" on the goal stand/net") which the goaltender guards. You do not need to hit the net as long as it goes beyond the line. the net is there only to stop the puck once it has crossed the line. (it is still a score if the goaltender grabs it in his glove but the glove is over the line) Goals can be disallowed if an "attacking" player is in the Crease, called goaltender interference(blue area in front of the net) or if the puck is kicked in by an attacking player)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_hockey

While the general characteristics of the game are the same wherever it is played, the exact rules depend on the particular code of play being used. The two most important codes are those of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF)[14] and of the North American National Hockey League (NHL).[15]


Ice hockey is played on a hockey rink. During normal play, there are six players per side on the ice at any time, each of whom is on ice skates. There are five players and one goaltender per side. The objective of the game is to score goals by shooting a hard vulcanized rubber disc, the puck, into the opponent's goal net, which is placed at the opposite end of the rink. The players may control the puck using a long stick with a blade that is commonly curved at one end. Players may also redirect the puck with any part of their bodies, subject to certain restrictions. Players can angle their feet so the puck can redirect into the net, but there can be no kicking motion. Players may not intentionally bat the puck into the net with their hands.

Hockey is an "offside" game, meaning that forward passes are allowed, unlike in rugby. Before the 1930s hockey was an onside game, meaning that only backward passes were allowed. The period of the onside game was the golden age of stick-handling, which was of prime importance in moving the game forward. With the arrival of offside rules, the forward pass transformed hockey into a truly team sport, where individual heroics diminished in importance relative to team play, which could now be coordinated over the entire surface of the ice as opposed to merely rearward players.[16]

The five players other than the goaltender are typically divided into three forwards and two defencemen. The forward positions consist of a centre and two wingers: a left wing and a right wing. Forwards often play together as units or lines, with the same three forwards always playing together. The defencemen usually stay together as a pair, but may change less frequently than the forwards. A substitution of an entire unit at once is called a line change. Teams typically employ alternate sets of forward lines and defensive pairings when shorthanded or on a power play. Substitutions are permitted at any time during the course of the game, although during a stoppage of play the home team is permitted the final change. When players are substituted during play, it is called changing on the fly. A new NHL rule added in the 2005-2006 season prevents a team from changing their line after they ice the puck.

The boards surrounding the ice help keep the puck in play (they can also be used as tools to play the puck), and play often proceeds for minutes without interruption. When play is stopped, it is restarted with a faceoff. There are two major rules of play in ice hockey that limit the movement of the puck: offsides and icing.

Under IIHF rules, each team may carry a maximum of 20 players and two goaltenders on their roster. NHL rules restrict the total number of players per game to 18 plus two goaltenders.

They skate around and shoot the puck in the net with a stick. Do you think you can burn an extra half calorie and type in what exactly you're looking for in an answer?

why do you ask? it is clear that you have no interest in the game and the only reason that you ask is because your boyfriend loves it and you don't want to go to a game and have no idea what they are doing
