“The goal-tend must guard a space six feet long by four feet high and so it will not do for him to stay in one position all the time. If the play is in front of the net he should stand in the middle of the net, but if the play is at one side he should stand at that side of the net and steady his knee against the goal-post. The rules forbid kneeling or lying on the ice and so if the puck is near the goal he should assume a crouching posture, thus bringing as much of himself as possible near the ice. The larger a goal-tend is the less space he has to look after, because a shot is more likely to hit a fat fellow than a skinny one. He should wear leg-guards that come well above the knees and the bigger they are the better it is, because by bringing his legs together he can then present a considerable surface in case of a low shot. He should also have his shoulders, thighs and elbows padded, both to protect him from injury and to increase his size. “He ought not to use his stick to stop a shot with, unless the puck is coming to him on the ice and slowly. He should try to put his body in front of the puck or catch it with his hand. The hardest shot to stop is one which is about knee-high. The goal-tend should watch the puck every minute. He must never leave his goal unless he is sure that he can reach the puck before any player of the opposing team can reach it and there is no player on his own side to do it. When he has stopped the puck he should sweep it aside and behind his goal if possible, but never shoot it ahead of him because a player of the other team might get it and shoot it before he was in position to stop it. When the puck is behind the goal he should never take his eyes off of it and when it approaches one side of the goal he should stand at that side and be ready in case a player tries to hook it in. If there is a scrimmage in front of the goal he should turn his skates out wide and keep his stick on the ice also. In that way he can cover about twenty-four inches of the goal. But if the puck comes toward him at either side he must be ready to stop it with a skate or his stick. “Goal-tend should be warmly dressed because he does not get so much exercise as the other players. Moleskin trousers are better than khaki or cotton because warmer. He should wear a light sweater and have well-padded gloves. A goal-tend’s stick should be short with a broad blade. Some players prefer a built-up stick, but it must not be more than three inches wide at any place.”
