There is no such position as "offenceman" in hockey, assuming you are referring to Ice Hockey! Some defencemen, such as Mike Green of the Washington Capitals and retired players such as Bobby Orr and Paul Coffey, are referred to as offensive , or rushing, defencemen. While their main job is to play defence, their skating and scoring skills enabled them to join the offensive play, man the points on the power play and generally help the forwards in all offensive situations.
