Abbygail · Answer

The faceoff is used to begin every game, period and play. It occurs when a referee drops the puck between the sticks of two opposing players. The opposing players then fight for possession of the puck. At the beginning of a game or period, or after a goal is scored, the faceoff happens at centre ice.
