Attackmen

A defenseman may want a stronger, heavier and more durable for the checks that they throw on attackmen.

Good attackmen should be equally capable with either hand.

Great attackmen usually also have large numbers of assists as well as goals. citation Midfielders (also commonly known as Middies) roam the entire field.

Longpoles like the attackmen must stay on the defensive half of the field unless replaced by a middy.

The real test of a great attackmen is not just how adept they are at scoring goals, but how well do they pass (feed) the open man to set up the goal.
