Best Answer

Being a fat hockey goalie can affect your performance on the ice by potentially reducing your speed and agility, making it harder to move quickly and react to shots. Additionally, excess weight can impact your flexibility and overall endurance, which are important for making saves and staying strong throughout a game. It may also affect your ability to cover the net effectively and move laterally to block shots. Maintaining a healthy weight and fitness level is important for optimal performance as a goalie in hockey.

In soccer does a goalie have the right to check opposing players that are inside his goal box like a hockey goalie can?

The goalie does have a right to "check" another player, but it can not be compared to what it is like in hockey. You must keep your arms down and you may not kick them, but as to the fact about being inside the box, you will lose your rights of aggression once you step outside the 18 yard line (box) and the ref can call the golie for cheaking a player if its not legel


How is hockey goalie equipment differernt now?

The most obvious changes in the goalie equipment is that since around the 80's, hockey companies have been using synthetic materials. Pleather is now being used for catch gloves, blockers, and leg pads; Mesh and plastic are being used for chest protectors. There were also changes to the amount of padding in the gloves, chest protectors and blockers. Because of this, USA Hockey made certain regulations to the amount of padding allowed on each of these articles of equipment because "it takes away the spirit of hockey".Hope this helped

What are the lines in front of the goalie in hockey?

It's called the crease. And like a pitcher's mound (just ask Oakland's Dallas Braden) it's the goalie's office. A player from an opposing team is technically not allowed to stand in the area or he is in danger of being penalized although, sometimes they get away with it. A player from your own team is not allowed to cover, freeze, or in any manner hold on to the puck in that area. The goalie can of course do any of those things.
