Defenseman

• Indirectly prevent the opposing team from shooting and scoring.

Transition

• Role is much like the roles of a defenseman but with a more agressive and offensive mindset.

Forwards

• A player whose role is primarily offensive and to score goals. Forwards who can shoot or handle the ball well play on their respective sides. Players who are known as creasemen, don't focus on playing one side or the other, they focus more on playing in front of the net and goaltender.
