There are two ways to make a line change.

1. The coach can change his skaters at any stoppage in play,except if it is on an icing call against his team. The visiting team must make its line change first, and then the home team can respond to the visitors' line change.

2. You can change lines "on the fly", meaning that while the skaters currently on the ice enter the bench through the players gate, the new players jump over the boards to join the play. This is usually done after dumping the puck deep into the opposition's zone. Changing on the fly must be done with care because a sloppy line change can result in a too many men on the ice penalty.

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