Duties of a Defenseman

A defenseman is supposed to keep the ball out of his defensive zone.  They also prevent the attackman from taking shots on net.

Position on Field

Defensemen are placed around the net.  Each defenseman is standing side by side with an attackman.  The defenseman is responsible for guarding this attackman. 

Equipment

A defenseman has all of the ordinary equipment.  The only difference is that a defenseman's stick is twice as long as an attackman or a midfeilder's stick.  This gives the defenceman an advantage on an attackman.  He can poke or stick check from a very long distance.
