Record 2 2006-02-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ice Hockey
CONT

A hockey goaltender's glove is described, in which the pocket is divided by a central web split into two side-by-side web portions along a substantial part of its length, or by two separate web portions, the web portions being tied by webbing such that a gap is created between them, spanned by webbing. By virtue of the web portions and the gap, the pocket flexes and closes around the puck more easily, thereby providing more reliable trapping of the puck.
