 Power forward (ice hockey) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Power forwards tend to be proficient stickhandlers and skaters who shoot the puck well and, at the same time, are capable of delivering crushing body checks and may also fight occasionally.
Power forwards also tend to be very difficult to knock off possession of the puck, hence their ability to "power through" opposing defenders.
Smaller skilled forwards, who are talented offensively but lack the strength of power forwards, are often easier to defend because they can be pushed around, knocked off the puck, or are more succeptible to intimidation.

Fast ice is harder and colder with a smoother surface, while slow ice is warm and soft and may have a rough surface.
For the players, the difference seems to be that "fast ice" is less "chippy" and there is less "snow." Passing and skating are easier when the ice is "fast." The quality of the ice differs during the course of the game and it even changes how teams play the game.

 Science of Hockey: Skating: page 1
The nature of ice was examined in "The Ice" section--including the latest findings by chemist Gabor Somorjai.
For a number of years before Somorjai's research, there was a debate as to whether pressure or friction created the water lubricant that was believed to be required for skating.
Since that was not possible, we decided to go back and understand why [this was the case]." After further study, Somorjai's team found that the "missing" water [or ice] molecule was indeed there-- but it was vibrating so rapidly that it was invisible to the technique they were using.
