Ice hockey teams have six players on the ice including one goaltender and five skaters. According to the Hockey Hall of Fame, this format was standardized in the early 20th century by the National Hockey League. The International Ice Hockey Federation documents how the six-player system creates fast-paced action. Hockey strategists arrange players in forward lines and defensive pairs. The six-player format has remained constant throughout professional hockey history.
