Gameplay Basics:
Starting the Game: Play begins with a face-off at center ice, where the referee drops the puck for players to compete for possession.
Passing and Shooting: Players pass and shoot the puck with their sticks to create scoring chances, aiming to get the puck into the opponent's net.
Offside Rule: An offside occurs when at least one player of the attacking team enters the offensive zone before the puck crosses the blue line. If the referees call offside, play resumes with a face-off
Icing Rule: Teams cannot clear the puck past the opponent's goal line from their side without touching it; if they do, icing is called, and play stops.
Penalties: Infractions like tripping or slashing result in penalties, sending players to the penalty box and giving the other team a power play advantage.
Goaltending: The goalie uses special gear to block shots and prevent goals, playing a crucial role in defending the net.
