Hockey goalie slides toward the goalpost

The hockey goalie moves sideways toward the post beside the net, wearing a helmet and substantial leg pads. The player keeps the hockey stick close to the ice while shifting across the goal area. The goal line at the left marks the edge of the scene and helps show how close the action is to the net.

Moving across the crease

A lateral push lets a goalie follow a puck traveling from one side of the rink to the other. The goalie aims to arrive square to the puck while keeping the pads controlled, since sliding too far can leave open space near the opposite side of the goal.

True-to-life colors around a hockey goal

  • Goalie helmet: white, black, or painted in team colors
  • Jersey, blocker, and glove: team colors with contrasting sections
  • Leg pads: often mainly white with black, red, blue, or other team-color accents
  • Hockey stick: black, white, gray, or natural wood tones
  • Goalpost, net, and ice: a red post, white netting, and white ice that may appear pale blue under rink lighting
Questions and answers

Questions and answers

Why would a goalie slide toward a goalpost?
The goalie moves toward the post to cover a shot or pass coming from that side. Closing the gap helps prevent the puck from slipping between the body and the post.
How can a goalie move sideways while staying low?
The goalie can push against the ice with one skate and glide across on the pads or skate edges. Balance and controlled pressure are important for stopping at the correct spot.
Why does the goalie keep the stick near the ice?
A low stick can block shots traveling along the surface and help cover the space between the pads. It may also be used to steer the puck away from the front of the net.
