Rover (ice hockey)

Ice hockey formation depicted in 1912, showing the rover in the middle, between the two defencemen and the center and wingers.[1]

A rover was an ice hockey position that was phased out during the 1910s and 1920s. The rover did not have a set position, and roamed the ice at will. Use of the rover resulted in teams have seven players on the ice at once, as compared to six players under modern rules.
