Okay,
in hockey, the rules are as follows:
Offsides- When a player is in the offensive zone too early. This is the most difficult rule to learn because it is confusing to explain. The ice consists of a red line at the center and two blue lines. When one of your player crosses the opponents blue line before the puck gets here, he/she is offside.
Icing- icing is when the puck is shot/passed down the ice before the player has crossed the red line(center line). This would mean that the puck has crossed at least 3 lines; the center line, the blue line, and the goal line at the end of the rink. You can only ice it going towards your offensive zone.
Penalties: There are many penalties in the game of hockey:
*Slashing is when you use your stick and hit another opponent and make them lose the puck or get injured, or occassionally break their stick.
* Too Many Men is when your team has too many people on the ice at one time. Each team gets to have 5 skaters and a goalie.
*Tripping is when you trip the opponent purposefully.
* Checking From Behind is when a player hits their opponent when they are completely faced the other way. This is dangerous because they cannot get themselves ready for the hit.
* Cross-Checking is when you have both hands on either ends of your stick and hit another player with it.
* Elbowing is when you jab your elbow into another players body
* Hooking is when you use the blade of your stick to slow down another player.
There are many penalties, you can search for more somewhere online. All of these penalties listed get you put in the penalty box for 2 minutes, and your team must play short-handed for those two minutes. This means that you have less players than your opponents. In this situation, it works best to play the box in your own zone. This means that you have your two defense protecting the corners and right in front of the net. You can ice the puck in this situation, so that is the main goal of the short-handed situation. When you ice the puck, it is the best time for a line change, but otherwise only one forward should chase the puck, the other 3 players on the ice should stay back so you do not give up a breakaway. When the oher team gets a penalty, that means that you are on the power play. There are many strategies for powerplays. One is to set up with two defense at the points (the corners of the blue line), one forward in front of the net trying to get open, one forward along the boards, and one down in the corner, and just try to get passes through.
As for strategies, there are many. Some defensive strategies are play the body, not the puck. Which means, look at the opponents body when you are playing against them, instead of watching the puck, because they can deek you out easily and go around you, but if you cut off their body, then they cant get by, and the puck will just slide on by. you should trust your teammates to take control of the puck after that. I am a forward, so i dont really know many defensive strategies, besides forwards backchecking, which means that the forwards come back into the defensive zone and help their defense out. One forward strategy is the dump and chase, which is where you get passed the blue line and dump the puck into the corner, and then chase it down and set up your play. This works a lot, because the opponents will get charged at, and they will realize that they have limited time to get rid of the puck and they will make a stupid pass, or give up the puck. Most of the time this works. Another is to use the give n’ go, which is used in many sports. You pass to one player and then go forward and recieve the puck again and hopefully you will be wide open.
A few things to remember is that forwards all need to backcheck. You can’t get a good offense going if you don’t have good defense. I learned that from my team this year. Also, in the defensive zone, wings need to cover the other defenders, centers cover the otehr center, and the D cover the opponents wings. This way, no one will be left uncovered. Also, girls hockey is a little bit different than boys hockey. In boys hockey, they can check, which is to hit people into the boards, while in girls hockey they cannot, which makes the game less about hitting people, and more about skill developement. Although both are equally aggressive and physical.
Hope i helped!!
