	Jordan nods, explaining the different positions, where they play, and where they tend to go on the ice. Then he explains line changes, how the players will often change in and out in shifts. He'll point out the other two main centers for the other lines. "One of those three will usually be primary puck handler, and try and set things up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And she listens to everything. She doesn't know all that terribly much about hockey, but she certainly prefers to know what's going on, and she's got a reasonably good memory and keen eye. "Good to know, thanks. And yeah, that makes sense, with it's being so high energy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Exactly. And the line shifts become part of the strategy. How long can you keep control of the puck and force the other team to keep tired lines on, do you want a possession more or to bury the puck deep and get a line change, or trying to take advantage of the time to change off. No one can get onto the ice until their corresponding man is off, so its always a risk."

	"There's not a lot of stoppages. The ref can stop the clock for penalties, anything that requires setting up a face off or for fights, but its at the ref's discretion. Clock stops and starts on the whistle." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
