No. That information is given to the on-ice Officials before the game by the coaches and is for use only by the League. HOWEVER... if the submitted starting lineup doesn't match the players actually starting the game... a delay-of-game penalty is called against the offending team. There is an off-ice official in the press box who's job it is to keep track of the players on the ice at all times! Which is how players plus/minus stats are tracked.

Your question isn't clear, but I think there are two things you might be thinking of...\n1) 3-16-4 for a goal scored would mean the goal was scored by 3 and assisted by 16 and 4.\n2) 3-16-4 for a team record would mean that the team won 3 games, lost 16 games, and lost 4 games in overtime.\nHope that helps.\nP.S. Melancholy, there aren't ties in hockey anymore (unless its a high school league)

According to the official rules published by USA Hockey: \n\n"When a stoppage occurs between the end face-off spots and near the end of the rink, the puck shall be faced-off at the end face-off spot on the side where the stoppage occurs, unless otherwise expressly provided by these rules."\n\nUsually the goalie is on the side of the ice from which the shot came meaning the face-off is in the face-off dot on the side that the shot came from.

I like hockey because it is a fast paced game. NBA started to bore me to death. Since hockey was going on at the same time, i started to watch it. I picked up on the rules/strategies really easily.

Unllike most other sports, hockey players can only play for about 2 minutes straight before getting EXTREMELY tired. Changing players often has to be done "on the fly" if there has not been a stoppage in play for a while and can be tricky -- it can lead to a defensive error or a penalty for too many men on the ice. A goal however, is a stoppage in play and an opportunity to get fresh legs out there!

Soccer games have 2 periods of time.  Each period has 45 minutes.  The numbers in parantheses mean the time.

LOL at Longnecks answer ...\n\nVery Simply, Hockey is a game placed on the ice (though roller and deck hockey can also be played). A team can suit up 20 players for a game and each team places 6 players on the ice at a time:\n1 Goaltender (who has the job of defending a goal), 2 defensemen, 2 fowards (Left Wing and right wing), and 1 center ice man. Players can come in and out of the lineup on the fly as often as they like.\n\nThere are 3 twenty minute periods in a hockey game followed by a 5 minute sudden death OT if required. If the teams are still tied at the end of OT , they have what is known as a shootout - where players take alternating breakaway shots at the opposing goaltender.\n\nWhichever team scores the most goals wins (each goal is worth a single point). \n\nPlayers are allowed, and in fact are encouraged to use physical contact, called checking, while playing the game. Players are not permitted to hold, grab, use their stick to obstruct or check a player that does not have the puck. If they do so they will get a penalty which is typically 2 minutes (though can be 5 minutes for fighting or a major intent to injure penalty). During that time, his team plays shorthanded with one less player as he serves his penalty.

Hockey player...the length of schedule...the speed of the game....the speed of a little frozen puck travelling at near 100 m.p.h. plus...the grind of skating on your hips and knees. The body checks...travel schedules...the sport is more grueling. Football 16 games a year. Once a week...if you are playing on the line you will get hit on every play. Your legs will wear down...over all I think hockey players are the more athletic players....catching a football is an art I admit but deflecting a puck coming at you at over 100 miles per hour is pretty impressive. Look at the goalie position...facing a frozen puck 25to 40 times a game and being able to stay alert and have the reflexes to stop a puck...(old hockey player talking)

Ms. Lotusice is right about the line changes.  That's about the only time there is a break for individual players.  The only other time there is a break for more than 10 seconds is when a coach calls a time-out (one per team, per game).  The only other exception would be at the professional level.  Just like all other sports, they're required by the broadcaster to take a forced ad break.  Most contracts require one 2-minute ad break for every 5 minutes of clock time.  These requirements usually go up as the playoffs progress.  You'll never see it on TV, but if you go to a professional game look above the scorekeepers area (between the sin bins).  There you will see a red light and it will turn on to let the refs know that they can't drop the puck because of a "TV time-out".

If i start explaining, it would take yrs, so i will tell you the basics, and I will get u a site which tells you the other minor details. (the rules are for major league ONLY, minor rules varies a bit, mind you)\n1) each game is 60 minlong, divided into 3 periods.\n2) Team with the most goal wins, but if tied, we go to OVERTIME, usually five minutes in regular season and 20 in play-offs.\n3) If again tied, in regular season, they will go to a shoot-out,(like penalty kick in soccer, or football if ur irish) where everyone gets a one-on-one with the goalie until once teams get more goals than the other. The game officially ends there.\n4) Each team has SIX players on the ice, (can varie for Power-Play and Short-handed), usually a CENTER, a LEFT WING, a RIGHT WING, 2 DEFENCES and a Goalie.\n5) You can get a penalty in anytime in hockey, penalties include tripping, cross-checking, interferece, delay of game,etc) When you get a penalty, u get ususally 2 min as a punishment, which means your team will spend the rest of the next two minutes with-out you, therefore giving the opponent an advantage, called POWERPLAY, you are officially SHORTHANDED. If anytime the other team scores, you return.\n6) You can get more than 2 minutes if your penalty is very severe.\n7) You score officially if the pcuk crosses the line or hits the net, even if the goalie catches it before it hits the ground. \n8) There are many hitting is hockey, called checking, so watch out and dont be fustrated if you think a think is a penalty.\n9) There can be a penalty shot, where a defensive player commites a penalty when the offense has a clear path to the goal, which we call breakaway. You, in a PS, start from the centre-ice and try to score one-on-one, but you get only one shot.\n10) for statistics, G is for goals, A is for assist, which is the pass you give which, unobstructed, leads to a goal. An assist does not count if another oponent has control of it, but counts if he/she just touches it. PTS is G+A, each worth one.\nPIM, is the penalty in minutes.\n+/-, is the ratio of how many goals the otrher team scores to how many your team scores, for example, if the other teams scores 5 goals while you are on the ice, and you team respond with only 3, ur +/- will be -2.(3-5)\nSOG, shots on goal\nSOG%: goals divided by shots, which is also ur shooting percentage, the higher, the better.\nThat is it about the rules, but of course, there are more, for that, i will give u a link cuz I am really tired of writing...Hope that helps, PS: U got really nice hair, got me going during the writing...

You'll never have a 5 on goalie. You can only have two players from each team (for a total of four players) in the box at any given time. If more penalties are called they are delayed until someone from that team is back on the ice.

You need two numbers for the calculation - the number of minutes a goalie has played, and the number of goals they've allowed.  From there, you use this formula:\n\nGA (goals against) / Minutes played * 60\n\nThe "60" is used as the multiplier, because that's the number of minutes used in a "full" game.\n\nUsing Hasek as an example this year, the calculation would be:\n\n23 (goals he's allowed) / 782 (minutes he's played) * 60\n\nThat gives you 1.764, which is rounded to 1.76, the top average in the league.

Rule 79. Puck Must Be Kept in Motion\n\n(a) The puck must be kept in motion at all times.\n(b) A minor penalty shall be imposed on any player, including the goalkeeper, who holds, freezes or plays the puck with his stick, skates or body in such a manner as to\ndeliberately cause a stoppage of play. \n\n(NOTE 1) With regard to a goalkeeper, this Rule applies outside of his goal crease area.\n\n(NOTE 2) If a goalkeeper comes out of his crease to “cut down the angle” on a shot and after making the save covers the puck, this shall be legal. If the goalkeeper races out of his crease in an attempt to beat the attacking player to the puck and instead of playing the puck jumps on the puck\ncausing a stoppage of play, this shall be a minor penalty for Delay of Game.\n\n(NOTE 3) The overall intent of this rule is to keep the play going.

The +/- stat is for individual players. When a player is on the ice and his team scores a goal, he gets +1. When he is on the ice and the other team scores a goal, he gets -1. So if a player has a +20 rating, his team scored 20 more goals than they gave up while he was on the ice.
