Question about Hockey positions and stuff

What is it that's different about playing Centre, than playing as a wing?

Is it just based on faceoff ability, or are C's and wingers different in defensive ways or something ?

Also, I understand that if you use your right hand as your lowest hand on the stick when you have the puck, you are a right winger. Vice-versa with left. Am I correct?

Does a RW mainly cover the right side, cause i'm mad right handed, and i'd be a RW because my right is lower on the stick, but i'd find it easier to shoot from the left side of the blueline.

And another seperate question, what's legal and what's not when it comes to bodychecking, you can only use one hand on the stick I think, but I see people shoving guys with two hands on the stick all the time

And I get hooked all the time in NHL 2004 >: o
