Scoring in hockey, at the most basic level, involves getting the ball or puck over the goaline. In either game, being played by a defender does not affect the scoring of a goal, provided it would otherwise have been legally scored.

  • In field and indoor hockey, the conditions involved are that the ball must be played legally within the circle by an attacker, and then completely cross the line between the posts and underneath the crossbar of the goal, without leaving the circle between those two events.
  • In Ice Hockey, the puck must be played legally with the stick by an attacker before crossing the goalline between the goalposts and underneath the crossbar.

- um no, you have to kick the ball in the hoop.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

AnswerYou do not score points in hockey. Each team's score is the number of goals they have been awarded during the game.

In Field Hockey, 'points' are given when you receive a penalty card. Green is worth 1 point, yellow is worth anywhere from 3 to 6 depending, and reds are 12 points. Accumulating 12 points means you get an automatic suspension.

Ice hockey does not have an equivalent system; indoor hockey assumably does, based on the same one as field hockey.

Just like in real hockey: shoot, shoot, shoot. Try deking more, try one-timers, get men in front for rebounds, fire it from the point. It took me a while, but now I consistently notch about 3 goals a game.

I'm going to use two teams as an example: Leaf's and Star's

Face-Off - players take position on their respective sides of the face-off zone [little red circles on the ice] the referee will drop the puck and the two centers will 'battle' for the puck. [Essentially being able to get your stick to the puck to make a pass before the opposition.]

Icing - Let's say the leaf's launch the puck from their defensive zone all the way into the star's defensive zone with-out a player making contact with the puck. At that point a 'icing warning' will be thrown up. At this point a race will pursue between leaf and star players; if a leaf player touches the puck first the call is considered null and void. If a star player touches the puck the game clock is stopped and a face-off will happen in the leaf's defensive zone.

Offside - When a player crosses the neutral zone into the oppositions side before the puck. [Let's say the leafs control the puck, if a leaf player is in the star's defensive zone before the puck crosses the neutral zone than it is called an 'offside'.]

Scoring - When a player puts the puck into the opposition's net. [In some cases, their own net.]

Penalties:

Hooking/Slashing - If a player intentionally injures another player using their hockey stick. [In a 'hook' or 'slash' like fashion.]

Fighting - The good old hockey fight. Players obviously get hyped when playing a game, sometimes they don't see eye-to-eye so they drop the gloves and start fighting. [4-5 minute major, unsure which.]

Tripping - Using your stick to intentionally trip the opposition.

Elbowing - When you use your elbow to hurt the opposition.

Penalty Shot - When the opposition is tripped while on a break-away. [Let's say a leaf's player has the puck and has crossed the neutral zone into the star's defensive zone, if they are ahead of the star's defense-men and tripped by a star's team member than a penalty shot is called. The leaf player is then given a 1-on-1 with the Star's goalie.]

you get a touchdown.

Or you get a field goal or a safety.

A hockey player is credited with a hit when he successfully utilizes a hit to separate an opposing player from the puck.

By how many goals you score. Each goal is worth 1 point
