When you are on the ice is your shift. Generally, forwards (center, right wing and left wing) have 45-120 second shifts. When you step onto the ice is the start of your shift and when you step onto the bench is the end of your shift

"play" in hockey is more commonly referred to as a "shift." in hockey, a good shift is between 30-45 seconds long. to those that dont play the game it seems short, but it is actaully long because it is close to a dead sprint for the majority of that time. anything oer that time is a great advantage to the other team because of fatigue.- masta v
I only see hockey occasionally on TV in UK It appears that every time a goal is scored the scorer is immediately withdrawn Why?
Quick background: a "shift" is one turn on the ice, usually the same group of player go together and there are 4 "lines"on a team. So, generally, you play for a shift then you're out for three. Hockey is an incredibly demanding sport. Hockey "shifts' are only 45-60 seconds. Which means, a player only plays for that long then needs to catch their breath for a couple minutes. Usually when you score you're at your shift anyway, it's a good time to stop...and hey, your line earned a break! Keep watching hockey, it's a great sport!
