WHAT DOES DEFENSEMAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Defenceman

Defence in ice hockey is a player position whose primary responsibility is to prevent the opposing team from scoring. They are often referred to as defencemen, D, D-men or blueliners. They were once called cover-point. In regular play, two defencemen complement three forwards and a goaltender on the ice. Exceptions include overtime during the regular season and when a team is shorthanded, in which two defencemen are typically joined by only two forwards and a goaltender.
