Make sure that each team has six players to start the game; usually consisting of three forwards, two defense men and one goalie. Consider having at least 12 people on your team, giving you a fresh line if your players get tired.
-
Step 2
Start the game off by having a face off between the two opposing centers. The referee drops the ball between the two players commencing the start of the game.
-
Step 3
Shoot the puck or ball into your opponents net to score a goal. At the end of three 15 minute periods, the team with the most goals wins the game.
-
Step 4
Lose possession if you're the last to touch the puck before it goes out of bounds. The opposing team will inbound the puck by passing it to a teammate.
-
Step 5
Stop play when the ball goes out of bounds or when a penalty occurs. Penalties include hitting the ball into the net with anything other then your hockey stick. Another penalty occurs if a player falls on the ball to stop play.

Step 6
Remember that after a penalty call, a player may sit out for up to five minutes, forcing your team to be down a player. Some of these penalties are elbowing, kneeing, slashing, tripping and roughing.
