Headman Pass is the passing of the puck quickly up ice to a player ahead of the puck in a better offensive position.
Ice hockey is a game between two teams, each usually having six players, who wear skates and compete on an ice rink. The object is to propel a vulcanized rubber disk, the puck, past a goal line and into a net guarded by a goaltender, or goalie. It is an Olympic sport and is perhaps Canada’s most popular game.
