A neutral zone is the area in ice hockey located between the two blue lines, which divides the rink into three sections: the defensive zone, the neutral zone, and the offensive zone. It is the middle section of the rink, where the play transitions between the two teams. Teams try to control the neutral zone to limit the opponent's ability to enter their defensive zone while working to gain possession and move the puck into the offensive zone. The neutral zone is important for setting up attacks and defending against counterattacks.
