Goal Posts and Nets

2.1GOAL POSTS Each rink must have two (2) “Goals”, one at either end of the rink. The “Goal” is comprised of a goal frame and netting. The open end of the goal must face center ice. Each goal must be located in the center of the goal line at either end and must be installed in such manner as to remain stationary during the progress of the game. The goal posts must be kept in position by means of flexible pegs affixed in the ice or floor, but which displace the goal post from its moorings upon significant contact. The holes for the goal pegs must be located exactly on the goal line. The goal posts shall be of an approved design and material, extending vertically 1.22m above the surface of the ice and set 1.83m apart, measured from the inside of the posts. A crossbar of the same material as the goal posts shall extend from the top of one post to the top of the other. The goal posts and crossbar shall be painted in red color, and all other exterior surfaces shall be painted in white color. PLAYING AREA

2.2GOAL NETS A net of an approved design shall be attached to each goal frame and made of white nylon cord, which shall be draped in such a manner as to prevent the puck coming to rest on the outside of it, yet strung in a manner that will keep the puck in the net. A skirt of heavy white nylon fabric or heavyweight white canvas shall be laced around the base plate of the goal frame in such a way as to protect the goal net from being cut or broken. If required by the IIHF Event Codes, the skirt shall be designed so that the last 30 cm of the skirt connecting to the post is transparent. This protective padding must be attached in a manner that will not restrict the puck from completely crossing the goal line. This padding must be set back 15cm from the inside of the goal post. This skirt shall not project more than 2.5cm above the base plate. The frame of the goal shall be draped with a nylon mesh net to completely enclose the back of the frame.
