Typically, a hockey player should have exceptional skating ability, good hand-eye coordination, good puck handling skills, a good work ethic, and the ability to work as a team. Within the game, skills required get more specific with each position. A goalie needs to be flexible, quick, and be able to play a good mental game. A defenseman should typically be a great skater, have the ability to read the play well, and may need to have a good point shot. Forwards need to have a good shot, good vision, and good forechecking ability. to be a well rounded and exceptional player, both forwards and defensemen should have most of the skills listed (goalies play a different game and require different abilities).
