Thread: Hockey Terms & Short Phrases

Hey everyone.. I recently joined a beginners hockey league and was assigned to Team Russia. Since I'm on Team Russia, I thought it would be fun to learn some hockey terms a phrases. If anyone has time to translate the following (even better, how to pronounce) I would be VERY appreciative!

"Pass me the puck." or just "Pass it"

"Shoot it!" as in "Shoot the puck"

"Change." or what you would say when you're coming off the ice and you want the next guy to come on.

"Good Job" , "Nice shot", or anything congratulatory would be great!

Thanks so much, what a great forum!

"Good job!" = молодец (maladets)

Молодец is the person who's just done a good job

They call a pass "Пас".
That's the only one I know.

Thanks!

how would you pronouce "Пас"?

I don't know much sports language but if someone has had a woderful opportunity to score but stupidly failed we call him мазила (mazeela)

your "pass", but we do not aspirate (not phass)

that's great!

Instead of change... maybe "Switch with me." or "Take my place." in Russian would get the same point across.

Based on my foggy memory of NHL 2005 in Russian:
Pass the puck: передай шайбу! [pereday shabu] or just noun form for "pass" is передача [peredacha]
Shoot: Ударь! [udar] or брось! [bros]?
Line Change: I forget. Maybe слудующий срок [sleduyushi srok]?

Maybe we have a Russian hockey buff who can back me up/correct me, though?

Thank you Barmaley!

Would anyone be able to record these? That seems like the best way for me to know i'm pronouncing them correctly. Thanks again everyone.

It should be "замена/смена звена" if I correctly understood the "line change" term.

I think you do. Now that I see it, I think it was called "звена" but I don't know about the замена/смена part -- but I'm sure you know what you're talking about. Listen to sleep, not me!

shoot is, I think, бросай [brasai]

Get your supporter group to shout these things out:

Шайбу! Шайбу! Шайбу! Шайбу! Шайбу! .... (Accusative case of "puck")
When everybody suddenly wants the Russian team to score

You sound so enthusiastic!

And, of course, the very word Russia! = Россия [rassiya]

Even got my sister's help
Do not laugh at our shouting

Красота-то какая you are great, thanks so much!

The only other ones I really want to know is the translation for.

"Give it here" or "Give it to me"

and

"I'm open" or "I'm unguarded"

Thanks for taking the time to record those audio files
I'm going to burn them cds and hand them out to our team!

"Give it here" or "Give it to me"

maybe мне? this means "to me" and is used when playing different games, not sure about hockey. Very probably they do too.

[mne]

sounds good to me. thanks!
