Best Answer

A hockey goalie may leave the goal during a game to give their team an extra player on the ice during a power play or to provide an advantage in a critical situation, such as when the opposing team pulls their goalie for an extra attacker.

Yes, definitely. lots of ice hockey goalies wear two cups. A regular cup jock and then a special goalie cup over top of that.

Lacrosse and ice hockey goalies wear cups but soccer goalies generally dont wear a cup
