In Ice Hockey, the play starts with a face-off in one of the rink's five circles. A face-off consists of a player that plays the position called 'Center' to fight for the puck when the referee drops it.

It used to be a bully, but now it's just a hit by the team that won the toss (and chose ball over end).

In ice, roller and street hockey it is called a face off.
