In ice hockey, power forward (PWF) is a loosely applied characterization of a forward who is big and strong, equally capable of playing physically or scoring goals and would most likely have high totals in both points and penalties. It is usually used in reference to a forward who is physically large, with the toughness to dig the puck out of the corners, possesses offensive instincts, has mobility, puck-handling skills, may be difficult to knock off the puck or to push away from the front of the goal and willingly engage in fights when he feels it is required. Possessing both physical size and offensive ability, power forwards are also often referred to as the 'complete' hockey player.

  • Power forward är en term inom ishockeyn som uppkom i NHL under början och i mitten av 1990-talet efter att spelare som Cam Neely, Keith Tkachuk, Eric Lindros och Rick Tocchet utmärkt sig både genom att spela oerhört fysiskt och göra många mål. Även spelare som spelade innan 1990-talet går att inkludera i benämningen Power forward, som exempelvis Gordie Howe och Clark Gillies. (sv)
  • Der Power Forward ist eine Positionsbezeichnung – meist für Flügelstürmer – im Eishockey. Das Spiel des Power Forwards ist in der Regel sehr körperbetont, weswegen die Bezeichnung zumeist nur für Spieler gebraucht wird, die entsprechende typische physische Voraussetzungen haben, wie zum Beispiel die Körpergröße oder das Gewicht.

  • Der Power Forward ist eine Positionsbezeichnung – meist für Flügelstürmer – im Eishockey. Das Spiel des Power Forwards ist in der Regel sehr körperbetont, weswegen die Bezeichnung zumeist nur für Spieler gebraucht wird, die entsprechende typische physische Voraussetzungen haben, wie zum Beispiel die Körpergröße oder das Gewicht. Die Bezeichnung Power Forward rührt von der Spielweise der meisten Spieler dieser Art; auf Grund ihrer körperlichen Überlegenheit sind sie nur schwer vom Puck zu trennen, somit „powern“ sie sich durch die gegnerischen Verteidigungslinien und generieren so Torchancen, die sie nicht selten selbst vollenden. Power Forwards positionieren sich im Angriffsspiel auch oft vor dem gegnerischen Torwart, um ihm die Sicht zu nehmen. Der Power Forward hat gegenüber kleineren, schwächer gebauten Spielern den Vorteil, dass er auf dem Eis kaum bedrängt und aus der Position gebracht werden kann, schwer vom Puck zu trennen sowie kaum einzuschüchtern ist. Dafür sind sie meist weniger beweglich und langsamer als andere Spielertypen. (de)

Possessing both physical size and offensive ability, power forwards are also often referred to as the 'complete' hockey player. Historically, power forward was not originally a hockey term, finding comparatively recent origins from basketball. Harry Sinden, former president of the Boston Bruins, claims power forward first became part of hockey terminology because of the style of play of Cam Neely, an NHL player from 1983 to 1996, who could play ruggedly and also score goals. Punch Broadbent was one of the first players who pioneered the style before the NHL was founded in 1917, while Charlie Conacher, Phil Esposito, Gordie Howe, Maurice Richard and Bert Olmstead are likewise considered quintessential examples of power forwards in the decades before the term entered hockey vernacular.
