extra padding added to a C/A overlying the sternum and usually extends laterally to shoulder floaters, purported to prevent one's heart from stopping due to direct blow to the upper chest.



'''Hybrid Style Goalie'''
term used to describe a goaltending style in which the goalie incorporates aspects of a butterfly and stand-up style.


'''Hybrid Pad'''
goalie [[pads]] which are used by a Hybrid Style Goalie.

== I ==

'''Intermediate/Int'''

goalie equipment sizing which is larger than Junior (Jr) and smaller than senior (Sr), however it offers protection that is supposed to be similar to the Sr gear.


'''Ice Bite'''

design where the inside boot area of goaltending equipment touches the ice (ie. the skate is off-set such that it is closer to the inside edge of the pad). Claims to help steady a goalie's stance and suports on ice movements. example: sherwood cerberus 10 and Itech 11.8 x-factor)


'''Inline'''

inline hockey, roller hockey: hockey played on concrete, wood, or SportCourt arenas as opposed to to ice rinks. Inline hockey and Ice hockey share much in common in regards to the equipment used.


== J ==

a Japanese man made leather. Jenpro comes in:

''Basic'' (smooth)

''Weave'' (stamped with a weave pattern, also called ''robocop'' and ''techno'')

''Iridescent'' (metallic color changing hues). I believe that iridescent has been removed from the pad market.

== K ==

'''Kevlar/Twaron/Poly-paraphenylene Terephthalamide'''a yellow synthetic fibre that is five times stronger than steel, weight for weight. Kevlar is very heat resistant and decomposes above 400 °C without melting. It is usually used in bulletproof vests, in extreme sports equipment (eg. masks), and for composite aircraft construction.



'''Knee Lift/Stack'''
padding in between the knee wing and goalies knee which protects the knee from impact during butterfly maneuvers, may be a single large "stack" of foam, 2-4 thinner foam layers or a combination of the two.




'''Knee Lock'''
inner area of pad that is meant to hold knee in place while allowing rotation and stability to the knee, such that it will not slip out of proper postion. Most often uses a large strap attached by velcro.



'''Knee Rolls'''
horizontally placed rolls that lie on the face of the [[pads]]. May be functional (ie. will bend at the intersecting point between the rolls) or non-functional (just to maintain a traditional pad look)



'''Knee Wing'''
area of pad that makes direct contact with the ice on the medial aspect of the [[pads]]. The Knee Wing is the outer most layer on the [[landing gear]].



'''Knob'''
the mass of tape, or a premanufactured plastic cap version, at the end of a [[goalie stick]]. It is usually taped in a way so that the stick won't slide through the blocker during poke-checks. Some people prefer a larger knob using extra tape to make a stick easier to pick up from the ice, and avoid having the end of the stick inadvertently get caught in the net itself, during an unusual play.


== L ==

'''Landing Gear'''
part that the goalie's knee makes conact with while in the butterfly, not JUST the knee stacks, but the entire inner knee area



'''Leather'''
Formerly used extensively on goalie equipment up until the late 80s until replaced by synthetic leather. Now used only in minor applications on goalie equipment. Mostly used to make the internal top of a t-trap rigid. Also used in leg pad straps and toe assemblies.


'''Lehtonen Knee'''
mod on Vaughn Velocities that changes the standard knee rolls to wrap-around knee rolls, like those on the Koho 580 or the Vaughn Legacy 6000.



'''Leg channel'''
area of goalie [[pads]] in which the leg "sits" in, generally includes distance from ankle to just below the knee.


'''Lie'''
the angle the paddle of a [[goalie stick]] makes with the blade. This designation isn't used much anymore by some stick manufacturers and the information conveyed by a lie number may not be accurate.


== M ==

'''Magic Eraser'''
a household cleaning product which can be used to clean puck marks off a piece of equipment made of Jenpro/Weave without harming the materials whatsoever. Although it may not work as well on weave, it can also be used on that material.




'''Maltese Collar'''
neck guard which uses gel as opposed to foam as the protective material of the neck guard.


'''Maltese Gel'''
a series of gel product that can be used as an alternative to foam inside a [[mask]]/[[combo]].


'''Mask'''
A moulded piece of head protection, usually made of fiberglass, and containing other materials such as kevlar/aramid, nylon, plastic, and/or carbon fibre. The cage is built into this design.



'''Medial Roll'''
flap/ridge of jenpro found on the seam between the face of a pad and the inside gusset, some are more wedge-like in appearance, which help to seal the ice when performing a butterfly move.


== N ==

'''Nash'''
Nash is a faux suede material. It is commonly found in some leg channels on pads, glove palms, and some blocker faced in the 90's, although it is being replaced with newer materials that do not absorb water. Nash is available in tan, black and light gray.


'''Neck Guard'''
protective equipment worn around the neck, made up of a mix of soft foams, HD-foams, covered in nylon/cordura in order to protect the neck area from skate cuts and puck impact.

'''Outside (Vertical) Roll'''
roll on the most lateral (non 5-hole side) aspect of the face of the [[pads]]. Can be solid/two-piece/three-piece and triangular/rectangular.



'''Overdrive Blades'''
extra blade added on the medial (5-hole side) of a goalie skate allowing for increased grip, wider stance, push-offs and many others. Please see [url=http://www.overdriveblade.com/]Overdrive Blade[/img] for more info.


'''Overrotation'''

occurs when a goalie performs a butterfly and the outside gusset of the [[pads]] rotate past the desired perpendicular position in relation to the ice, achieving an angle that is greater than 90 degrees. This gives the appearance that the outside gusset is facing away from the shooter

== P ==

'''Pro-Fly Goalie'''
term used to describe a goaltending style in which the large part (~>90%) of the goalie's saves are made in the butterfly position. Also see Butterfly Goalie.


'''Pro-Glo'''
synthetic leather that is shiny similar to patent leather on military dress shoes and tuxedo shoes. It was removed from the market due to durability issues.


'''Pro-Palm'''
palm area of glove with increased padding in order to decrease the number of "stingers" when struck by a puck.

This option is generally only available to Pro players who receive gear as their needs require.


'''Pro-Spec'''
equipment that complies to NHL size restrictions. May also include increased protection, such as ''pro palm'' in the glove.
