there are normally 5 skaters plus one goaltender for each team out on the ice at one time. the skaters are broken down by position. there are 3 forward positions (left wing, center, right wing) and two defensemen (left defensman, right defensman). on an NHL roster, teams are allowed to dress 18 skaters plus two goaltenders per game.

NHL players may have 1-2 extra sticks on their bench. Sticks can easily break, so having the extra sticks is necessary if they want to continue playing.
