Who is the "defense"?

The defense refers to the players on a team who work to stop the opposing team from scoring. Their job is to protect their goal or area by blocking shots, intercepting passes, and preventing the opposing team from getting close to scoring. Defensive players try to disrupt the offensive team's plays, regain possession of the ball or puck, and force mistakes. The goal of the defense is to keep the other team from scoring points and to give their team a chance to take control of the game.
