How can i remember the names and positions of professional hockey players?

Is there an easier method to doing so? Im pretty interested in Hockey now and my parents are BIG time Redwings fans, but i don’t wanna look like the odd-ball out by not knowing the players of the Redwings along with the other players. If anyone can help me out, it would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

This sounds so nerdy, but it works:

Play the latest NHL video game and play as the Red Wings.
As you play, you will be reinforced names, positions, lines, and even stats of all the players.
If you play long enough, you can remember pointless trivia such as their 3rd string goalie, the hometowns of each player, which player on the Red Wings have the best speed, etc.

I’ve played NHL games for nearly 8 years, and could probably name at least 10 players on every NHL team w/ their position.

    I just watch as many games as I can and then the next morning I read the box scores. Eventually some of it starts to sink in.

    To help with the Wings right away, you could write out a depth chart for yourself. List the players at each position and later you might remember them by where they were on the chart. "Lidstrom? Oh yeah, he’s a defenseman"

    i don’t really have a method i am only a teenager and i can name 10-15 players on each team just because i am a hockey fanatic i love the sport, my advice for you is to just watch as many games as you can you will hear the players names a lot each game, i use to know who each player was but i could never remember by looking at then who they were but now if i see there number or see there face i know right away who it is just keep playing the NHL videos games as well they definitely help .
