This integrated media series is about getting a perspective of the game of ice hockey and the elements that are involved with the sport. The aim of the video is to give someone a basic understanding of the fundamentals that are involved with the game so that they will be able to relate to the game better and even grow to love the game as much as any diehard fan.

2. There are five players typically divided into three forwards and two defensemen. 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 defensemen 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. The point of each line is to score as many goals in the net.
However, there is a six position, called the goal tender who will try to stop the puck
from going into the net.

3. Offside: A player may not skate into his offensive zone ahead of the puck. If that happens, a whistle is blown,
and a face-off is held just outside the zone where the breach-offside- occurred.
Icing: Icing is called when a player behind the red line in his end of the rink shoots a puck past the goal line in his
offensive zone when both teams are playing at even strength. Play is stopped when an opponent other than the
goalie touches the puck.
Two-Line Pass: An offside pass is also called a two-line pass. A defenseman with the puck in front of his own
net, for example, cannot pass it to a teammate beyond the red line at center ice because it would have to go over
two lines, first the blue and then the red, to get there.
Tripping: Using a stick, arm, or leg to cause an opponent to trip or fall is illegal in the game.
Hooking: If a player impedes the progress of another by quot;hookingquot; him with his stick and keeping him from
making a play, then he is called for hooking.
Cross Checking: If a player picks their stick up off of the ice and holds it in two hands to check an opponent
(using the shaft of the stick), they may be called for cross checking.
Holding: Using your hands on an opponent or the opponent's equipment to impede their progress is not
permitted.
Boarding: The officials whistle for this infraction when a player hits an opponent who is not aware of the
impending contact and therefore cannot defend himself from behind.
Charging: This penalty occurs when a player takes more than three strides before deliberately checking an
opponent.
High Sticking: Any contact made by a stick on an opponent above the shoulders is not allowed, and a minor
penalty will be assessed.

7. In order for teamwork to succeed one must be a team player. A team player is defined
as a person who can function effectively as part of a group of individuals, sharing
information and striving towards a common goal.
In the case of hockey that would include one to be able to pass the puck to another
player as much as one would try to score a goal on the opposing team.
The team should also work together to come up with plays that would better help each
individual out to reach their common goal.
Important traits that each member of the team should have, to help score goals, include
listening, communicating, helping, sharing, and participation.
