As in soccer, hockey has a net or goal into which the puck must be shot. The net is guarded by a heavily padded player referred to by several names. He is often called names such as the goalie, goal-keeper, goal-tender and I'm sure by less flattering names by opposing players. In North America, at least, he is not referred to as simply "the keeper".
