What is the meaning of a dasher?
Dasher is a term that is used to describe the boards of a hockey rink that are usually made of either steel or aluminum. In addition, the dasher boards are used as a defensive method of clearing the puck out of their team’s zone or to help execute a pass. The player takes the puck and bounces or slings the puck along the dasher until it is cleared from their zone, or it has reached the teammate it was intentionally passed to.
