This website will demonstrate how to correctly fill out an ice hockey scorecard. The scoresheet's aim is to serve as the official record of the game. The scorecard is the sole proof that certain events occurred, therefore try to be as exact as possible. The scoresheet is divided into two parts: player statistics and game statistics. Player statistics include goals, assists, hits, and penalties while game statistics include shots, saves, and fights. Each box on the scorecard contains space for at least one player statistic. Some boxes may contain more than one player statistic. For example, there could be a box for goals scored containing both the right and left wings or a center ice position would be preferred. Before you begin to fill out your scorecard, it is important to understand what information goes in which part of the scorecard. Goals will always go in the player statistics box, whether they were scored by a player who does not appear on the card or not. Assists, Hits, and Penalties will always go in the game statistics box. Shots on Goal should always go in the player statistics box but if the goalie doesn't face the net then they can also go in the game statistics box. It is recommended to have another person present when completing a scorecard to avoid any confusion about where to place certain pieces of information.
