The point is still trying to hit the puck into the goal. How is hockey set up? In hockey there is two teams of six players each. The players are required to wear protective equipment. The ice has four lines that run sideways across it; one red thin line at the end of each side in front of the goalie’s net, two blue lines about one third of the way towards the middle, and one center red line.
