attack zone

Scoring area boundary

The attack zone in ice hockey is the area between the opposing team's blue line and goal line—the offensive third of the rink where a team attempts to score.

In other contexts, attack zone may describe any designated area where offensive action occurs, whether in sports strategy or military operations.
