 Winger (ice hockey) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Winger in hockey is a forward position of a player whose primary zone of play on the ice is along the outer playing area.
Once the puck is controlled by the opposing team in the defensive zone, however, wingers are responsible for covering the defenseman on their side of the ice.
Although the centres are the only official participants in the faceoff, anyone can charge in for possession of the puck once it hits the ice, thus making it essential that every opponent is too tied up to fight for possession.
