Rule 5 - Division of Ice Surface
(a) The ice area between the two goals shall be divided
into three parts by lines, twelve inches (12'') in width, and
blue in color, drawn sixty feet (60') out from the goal lines,
and extended completely across the rink, parallel with the goal
lines, and continued vertically up the side of the boards.
(b) That portion of the ice surface in which the goal
is situated shall be called the "DEFENDING ZONE" of
the Team defending that goal; the central portion shall be known
as the "NEUTRAL ZONE," and the portion farthest from
the defended goal as the "ATTACKING ZONE."
(c) There shall also be a line, twelve inches (12'')
in width and red in color, drawn completely across the rink
in center ice, parallel with the goal lines and continued vertically
up the side of the boards, known as the "CENTER LINE."
This line shall contain regular interval markings of a uniform
distinctive design, which will readily distinguish it from the
two blue lines...the outer edges of which must be continuous.
