TABLE OF

CONTENTS

HOCKEY 101Icing is when a player on his team’s side of the red centerline shoots the puck all the way down the ice and it crosses the red goal line at any point (other than the goal). Icing is not permitted when teams are at equal strength or on the power play. When this occurs, play is stopped and the puck is returned to the other end of the ice for a faceoff in the offending team’s zone. Icing the puck is not called:

• If the goalie leaves the crease to play the puck, even if he does not touch the puck

• If an official rules an opposing player could have played the puck before it crossed the red goal line

• An official may wave off the icing call if he deems it was an attempted pass

A team is offside when any member of the attacking team precedes the puck over the defending team’s blue line. The position of the player’s skate — and not that of his stick — is the determining factor. If both skates are over the blue line before the puck, the player is offside. If he has only one skate

over the blue line and one on it, he is onside.

Any regular-season game that ends overtime play with a tie score goes into a shootout. A shootout is a series of penalty shots in which each team is allowed three attempts to score in alternating fashion. If after three attempts the teams remain tied, the shootout will continue to alternate shots until one team fails to match the attempt of the other. The winner of the shootout will be awarded one goal and two points in the standings.

A shot on goal is a shot that will enter the goal if it is not stopped by the goaltender. A shot on goal

must result in either a goal or a save.

Penalties are classified into three categories: minor, major, and misconduct. For a minor penalty,

players are required to serve two minutes in the penalty box while their team plays shorthanded.

A minor penalty expires if the opposing team scores while on the power play. Major penalties

require a player to serve five minutes in the penalty box and only expire at the end of that

time. Misconduct penalties vary in length.

A team is on the power play when one team has more players on the ice than the

other team because a player is serving a penalty. Conversely, the team with fewer

players is on the penalty kill.

Any regular-season game that ends regulation play with a tie score goes into

a five-minute sudden-death overtime period. If at the end of that overtime period the game remains tied, the game goes into

a shootout. During the playoffs, there are no shootouts and sudden-death overtime

periods are 20 minutes in length.

Over the course of a game, players can lose between five and eight pounds of body weight. This weight is mostly water, which is why a player drinks liquids on the bench to replenish his/her body.

5 lbs.

New materials for hockey sticks include aluminum and carbon-graphite,

which generally weigh less than wooden sticks. A player’s slap shot can reach speeds up to

108 mph!

Players require a lot of energy to skate, shoot the puck, and win a hockey game. Energy is the capacity to do work. There are two types of energy: kinetic and potential. Kinetic energy is created due to motion. An example would be a speeding train. Potential energy is stored energy. An example would be a train waiting to leave the station while passengers board.

Label each picture to the right with which type of energy is being used.

Friction is a force objects have which makes them resist motion or movement across or against another. Friction is what happens when two things rub against each other; like two hands rubbing together or air slowing down a car.

There are two main types of friction: static friction and sliding friction. Static friction is a friction force that opposes any attempt to move a stationary object along a surface. An example would be someone trying to push a heavy bookshelf. Sliding friction is friction where a force opposes the sliding motion of two surfaces rubbing together. Riding a bike on the sidewalk would be an example of sliding friction.

Based on the information you just learned about friction, determine which type of friction is being used below.
