It’s a part of the game many of us view but we might not have a grasp on how it really works. It’s nothing more than a column in a statistics table that you might glance over without giving it a second thought. It’s how games are started, and restarted after a whistle. It pits 2 men or women against each other in a battle of quick hands and physicality. At times, it can be a giant mess. It can also be quick and clean. We’re talking of course, about the faceoff.
Faceoffs, in their most simplistic rules, are pretty basic in nature.
