The goalie needs certain equipment to play the poison. Instead of a players gloves they need a glove and a blocker to catch and block the puck from going into the net. The goalie also needs to wear Leg pads so the goalies legs do not get hit with the puck and also to make he or she take a bigger portion of the net. The Legs pads also help the goalie go into a butterfly stance and to stop pucks that are low to the ground when he or she is in that position. They also have to have a chest protector so they can stop the puck without hurting their heart, ribs, and stomach. The stick is for protecting the five hole and stopping on the ground shots with out going into a butterfly stance. The most important part of equipment is the helmet it protects the head from taking high shots so you do not get brain damage, stitches and other injuries. |
