  Power forward (ice hockey) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A power forward in the sport of hockey is usually a winger, though at times a center can also be given that tag.
Power forwards tend to be large and muscular (6'0 - 6'3, 210-230 pounds) with the mobility to track a puck to the corners and the puckhandling skills to get it back to anyone in front of the net.
Thus, a true power forward is rare and is usually blessed with a very high skill level, and are fan favorites for those that like the rougher side of hockey.
