Assist (ice hockey)

From Encyclopedia Jr, free information reference for Kids

In ice hockey, an assist is attributed to up to the two previous players of the scoring team who touched or deflected the puck towards the scoring teammate, meaning that they were "assisting" in the goal. There can be a maximum of two assists per goal. The primary assist is awarded to the player who of the same team who touched the puck before the goal scorer. The secondary assist goes to the player of the same team who touched the puck before the primary assister. If the opposing team gains possession, not just tips or deflects the puck, and then loses possession again to the player who scores, there are no "assistants" in the goal and therefore no assists are awarded.
