A goalie, often an amateur, who can be dressed if a team runs out of available goalies during a game. Whether and how this is allowed depends on the league's rules.
A goalie stopping, passing or clearing the puck with the stick to help the team break out. Where a goalie may play the puck can depend on the rulebook.
The goalie's ready position: feet wide, knees bent, weight on the balls of the feet, glove and blocker out in front and the stick on the ice covering the five-hole.
A low save position where the goalie lays the wide part of the stick flat on the ice to cover the bottom of the net, often on wraparounds and plays in tight.
A post technique where the goalie drops the near pad flat along the ice, sealed against the post, while the other leg stays bent and ready to push. It is used for pucks below the goal line or in tight.
The five classic openings shooters aim for: high glove, high blocker, low glove, low blocker and the five-hole between the legs. How the first four are numbered varies by coach.
An older goaltending style where the goalie stays on their feet as much as possible and makes saves with skates, pads and stick, dropping only when needed.
The main way goalies move side to side across the crease: point the lead skate toward the target and push off the inside edge of the other skate, forming a T.
A post technique where the near pad stays upright against the post (vertical) and the other pad lies flat on the ice (horizontal), used when the puck is near the goal line.
