Defenceman is a hockey player position on the ice whose responsibility is primarily defence.
When in the defensive zone, the defenceman is responsible for keeping the opposing forwards' opportunities to a minimum when they are on a rush, forcing them to the corners and blocking both passing and shooting lanes.
In the offensive zone, the defenceman "play the blue line." It is their duty to keep the puck in the offensive zone by stopping it from crossing the blue line that demarcates where the offensive zone begins.
