In ice hockey, there are six main positions on the team: forwards, defensemen, and a goaltender. Forwards are divided into three types: centers and wings (left and right). They primarily focus on scoring goals and assisting teammates. Defensemen play behind the forwards and are responsible for preventing the opposing team from scoring. They protect the goaltender and help transition the puck to the forwards. The goaltender is the last line of defense, tasked with stopping shots on goal and ensuring the puck does not enter the net.
