The goalie moving the puck away

The goalie wears a cage helmet, gloves, a jersey, and protective pads while holding the stick near the puck. The action takes place on the ice as the player clears the puck from a dangerous area. Each piece of equipment supports a different part of the goalie's defensive role.

Why clearing the puck can help the team

A goalie may guide the puck toward a safer area when an opponent is close to the net. A controlled pass can also begin a new attack by sending the puck to a teammate. The goalie must judge the situation quickly, because leaving the puck within an opponent's reach can create another scoring chance.

Real-life colors of the goalie, stick, and puck

  • Hockey puck: usually black
  • Helmet and cage: commonly white or black with a silver, white, or black cage
  • Jersey: colored according to the team's uniform
  • Gloves and protective pads: often white, black, or matched to team colors
  • Hockey stick: commonly black, white, natural wood tones, or a combination
Questions and answers

Questions and answers

Why does a goalie move the puck with a stick?
Moving it away can reduce immediate pressure near the net. The goalie may also pass it to a teammate who has room to continue play.
Is a goalie stick shaped like every other hockey stick?
No. It has a wider blade and a broader lower shaft to help block shots and handle the puck while the goalie wears bulky equipment.
Why is a hockey puck usually black?
Black rubber is durable and easy to see against pale ice. The contrast also helps players, officials, and spectators follow its movement.
