Two-way forward

Two-way forward

In ice hockey, a two-way forward is a forward who handles defensive aspects of the game as well as offensive aspects. Typically a player's frame is not an issue whether he or she can be a two-way forward. Perseverance is a key to be a two-way forward as to battling in the corners or preventing an odd-man rush for the opposing team. A two-way forward can contribute for the team in the offense and defense, scoring important game-winning goals or make big plays from which your team receives a big advantage.

Two-way forwards are sometimes left in the shadows of star players but commentators often remind you how important they are to your team. The NHL awards the best two-way forward with the Frank J. Selke Trophy for forward "who demonstrates the most skill in the defensive component of the game".
