The term "forward line" refers to a group or formation of players in certain sports, particularly hockey and soccer. In these sports, there are different positions on the field, with forwards being responsible for scoring goals by moving the ball towards the opposing team's net. The forward line is typically made up of three players: two wingers who will move up and down the field to provide support, and a center who will usually stay in front of the goal. In hockey, the term "forward" also refers to any player on the offense, regardless of their position or role within the team's formation.
