According to the rules, when in the circle with stick in hand, a goalie may use any part of their body to save or deflect a shot at goal. When in the circle they may use kickers, legguards, feet, legs, and their stick as normal to "propel the ball forcefully so that it travels a long distance", i.e. clear it from the circle.
When the ball is within the 23-metre-area, they may only use their stick to hit the ball like a field player. If they are not within their own 23m area, they are not permitted to influence play, thatis tackle or contact the ball.
The sole exception to this is that a goalkeeper may come forward to take a penalty stroke.
