Screen (ice hockey)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In ice hockey, a screen is when a player is obstructing the goaltender's view of the puck. The word can also be used as a verb, commonly "don't screen the goaltender", or "the goalie was screened". Screens can be both planned, as when an attacking forward positions himself in front of the net, or accidental, like when a defensemen accidentally blocks the goalie's view. Attacking players may attempt to take advantage of a screen by taking a shot.
