  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.
Wingers should be aware of what their teammates are doing when breaking into the neutral zone.
If a winger commits to helping his or her teammate along the boards, it takes him or her out of the position where all other teammates are expecting them to be waiting; high in the zone near the opposing defencemen.

 Ghosts of The Past
If not remembered as one of hockey’s finest goal scorers, or at least for his bullet-like slap shot, Bathgate’s legacy would be that of a staunch advocate of the removal of violence from the game.
Bathgate continue his junior hockey with the better-known Guelph Biltmores for three seasons beginning with the 1949-50 campaign.
Bathgate severely injured a knee during his time with Guelph, requiring the winger to wear a special brace, but that did not stop the crafty winger from helping the Biltmores win a Memorial Cup championship in 1952.
