Gant que porte le gardien de but dans la main tenant le bâton; fortement rembourré, le dessus du gant est renforcé d'un «carré de gardien de but (CAN)» qui permet de repousser les lancers du revers de la main. 6, record 2, French, - gant%20bloqueur

Le gant carré doit être légèrement incurvé au-dessus des doigts mais une courbe trop accentuée n'est pas à conseiller car elle diminue la surface offerte pour arrêter la rondelle et diminue aussi la protection des doigts. Cette pièce doit être très rigide. 7, record 2, French, - gant%20bloqueur

By moving the stick out to the side and slightly behind his body, the player flexes his top-hand arm, bringing his stick over his shoulder and behind his back. 1, record 3, English, - backhand
