Appendix G

Goal Crease (Rule 1.5)

A semi-circle 1.83 m (6 ft.) in radius and 5.08 cm (2 in.) in width shall be drawn using the centre of the goal line as the centre point. In addition, an L-shaped marking of 12.7 cm (5 in.) in length (both lines) at each front corner will be painted on the ice. The location of the L-shaped marking is measured by drawing an imaginary 1.22 m (4 ft.) line from the goal line to the edge of the semi-circle. 

Goal Netting

There shall be attached to each goal frame a net of approved design made of white nylon cord, which shall be draped in such 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 net from being cut or broken. This skirt shall not project more than 2.54 cm (1 in.) above the base plate. 

Note 1: The frame of the goal shall be draped with a nylon mesh net so as to completely enclose the back of the frame. The net shall be made of three-ply twisted twine (0.33 cm (0.13 in.) diameter) or equivalent braided twine of multi-filament white nylon with an appropriate tensile strength of 318 kg (700 lb). The size of the mesh shall be 6.35 cm (2.5 in.) (inside measurement) from each knot to each diagonal knot when fully stretched. Knotting shall be made as to ensure no sliding of the twine. The net shall be laced to the frame with medium white nylon cord no smaller in size than No. 21.
