Boards
The walls surrounding the ice surface. The boards are about 42 inches tall with glass panels on top. Board play is a huge part of hockey. Players battle along the boards for puck possession, use them to bank passes, and get checked into them during body contact. Winning battles along the boards is one of the most important skills in the game.
