Yes, though somewhat recently, in the NHL and AHL, goalies have been restricted as to where they can play the puck behind the net and rules forbid goaltenders from participating in play past the center line.

If the ball is completely outside of the penalty area then the goal keeper may not touch it with his hands. Doing so will result in a direct free kick for the opposition at the location of the touch, just like any other player.

Where the goal keeper's body is at the moment of the touch does not matter.

No, the crease is the designated area on the ice surface where a goalie should be able to freely move about to stay square with the puck. If there is intentional contact, a penalty is assessed to the forechecking player. If there is incidental contact with the goaltender and a goal is scored on the play, the goal will be disallowed and the face off will take place outside the blue line.

No! The rules are you can't but refs are just too lazy to call that penalty.

What is a hockey offside?

, To answer your question, a Hockey "Offside" is when the player crosses the offensive blue line before the puck. There is a move called "Dragging the line" that NHL players, or in general any hockey player (Like myself) use. What they do is keep a skate ON the blue line when the puck is crossing the line and you are ahead of the play and/or puck.


If the puck goes underneath a defensive player while in the crease and then the player uses his hand to knock the puck out of the crease not gripping the puck. Is it a penatly shot?

Players in their defensive zone can hand pass the puck to anyone in the defensive zone; therefore, they can "shovel" the puck under their goalie in the crease to stop play. Play would be stopped provided the goalie was in check by an attacking player; otherwise, the goalie would be given a minor penalty if he didn't get rid of the puck within 3 secs. This penalty rule is at the discretion of the referee. With regards to penalties and penalty shots associated to players playing the puck with their hands: If any player other than the goalie closes his hand on the puck or picks the puck off the ice with his hand "OUTSIDE" of the goal crease, a minor penalty will be assessed most likely a delay of game. If any player other than the goalie closes his hand on the puck or picks the puck off the ice with his hand "INSIDE" the crease, a penalty or penalty shot will be awarded to the non-offending team. (at the discretion of the referee)

It would probably be hockey. You need to learn to skate, skate with a stick, control the puck. In football, you have to learn to throw/catch the ball, but running is easier than skating.
