Stand-up style
- Stand-up style
In
ice hockey , the stand-up style, as the name suggests, refers to a style of goaltending in which the goaltender makes the majority of the saves standing up, not falling to his or her knees. Its strength is mobility. While standing, a stand-up goalie can move around and ensure that they are square to the puck. This style is not as common as it used to be, with more and more goalies switching to thebutterfly style .Stand-up style makes it harder to stop shots from the point by defense men, because stand-up does not give much stopping power from down low. If there is a screen, however, a stand-up Goalie might be able to see the
slap shot better.The stand-up style is in contrast to the
butterfly style , where goaltenders protect the net against incoming shots by dropping to their knees and shifting their legs out.References
