  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.
The winger who is on the opposite side from the puck plants themselves looking to re-direct an off goal shot by the defenceman or a bad angle shot from the other forward positions.
Once the puck is controlled by the opposing team in the defensive zone, however, wingers are responsible for covering the defenseman on his or her side of the ice.
