Players on Ice During HockeyThere are (theoretically) 12 players on the ice during a hockey game. Each side will have usually have a goalkeeper, a center, 2 defensemen and 2 wings.

However, in practise one team will sometimes have only five players, as a result of penalties. They might also have an extra ice-player instead of a goalkeeper, but this does not affect the number of players on the ice.
There are six players for each team on the ice at one time during a hockey game. This includes:

  • 1 center
  • 3 wingmen
  • 2 defensemen
  • 1 goaltender

Many times there is said to be five men on the ice for each team )the goaltender is not counted).
