"Winger" is a term commonly used in sports, particularly in soccer and hockey, to describe a player who primarily operates on the flanks of the field or ice. Wingers are responsible for creating scoring opportunities, delivering crosses or passes, and often taking shots on goal. Their speed and agility are crucial for outmaneuvering defenders and contributing to both offensive and defensive plays. In addition to sports, "Winger" is also the name of an American rock band formed in 1987, known for their melodic sound and hits like "Seventeen" and "Miles Away." The band, led by vocalist and guitarist Kip Winger, gained popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s, contributing to the glam metal and hard rock genres.
