I live in South Florida, so my exposure to hockey has been effectively nil. I watch it every now and than when its on tv, but I lack a strategic and tactical understanding of the game and what the teams are trying to do to each other. I used to not enjoy soccer for the same reason, but after reading on formations and how they try to score/advance the ball within their structure, and understanding tactically x player makes pass to y player for z reason, it sort of fell together for me.

Could someone take like two of the most common hockey formations and explain the positions within, their responsibilities/ what they try to do, and than perhaps explain a simple play or two?

For example, Sidney Crosby is like an attacking mid who passes to people around him and facilitates a shot by penetrating the defense? (im guessing)

I guess with football, it would be the equivalent of explaining a passing concept vs a coverage and the qbs read on said concept. I.e. vs cover two, you run 3 deep routes to stress the two safetys horizontally or verticall,read one of them (depending upon your routes and the wr formation) and throw to whoever comes free because fundamentally you have a 3v2 advantage
