Tactic Formations:
In hockey you can play with different formations (Lines 1,2,3,4), it will all depend on the amount of players you have and also the ratio of stamina your player have. The more pucks in stamina the more time your player will be able to stay on ice.
Minimum: 10+1 (10 ice players + 1 keeper) (not recommended)
Intermediate: 15+1 (15 ice players + 1 keeper)
Maximum: 20+1 (20 ice players + 1 keeper) (recommended)
Minimum Set: Lines 1, 2, 3 + Power Play 1,2 + Box Play 1,2 + Goalkeeper
Maximum Set: Lines 1, 2, 3, 4 + Power Play 1,2 + Box Play 1,2 + Goalkeeper
Each line is conformed with 5 ice players (1 Center, 2 Wings, 2 Defender)+ 1 Goalkeeper
The Keeper is the only player that never changes and plays the complete match.

Power Play (PP): This special line jumps to ice when your rival has committed a penalty, so for next 2 minutes or you score a goal (what ever occurs first) you will have more players on ice than your opponent.
Box Play (BP): This special line jumps to ice when your team has committed a penalty, so for the next 2 minutes or your rival scores a goal (what ever occurs first) you will have less players on ice than your opponent.
