What is the five hole in hockey. How does it create scoring opportunities. Why is the five hole significant in goaltending. How do players exploit the five hole to score goals. What techniques are used to target the five hole.
Defining the Five Hole in Hockey
In the fast-paced world of ice hockey, every opportunity to score is crucial. One such opportunity that often proves decisive is the infamous “five hole.” But what exactly is this enigmatic term that has become an integral part of hockey vocabulary?
The five hole refers to the space between a goaltender’s legs, where the puck can potentially pass through and into the net. This vulnerable area has earned its place in hockey lore due to the unique challenges it presents for both goalies and attacking players.
Origin of the Term “Five Hole”
The origin of the term “five hole” is a subject of debate among hockey enthusiasts. Some attribute its etymology to the sport of bowling, where the 5th pin is centrally located in a standard 10-pin setup. Others point to the Canadian version of bowling, which uses only five pins, with the middle pin worth 5 points.
Interestingly, the Merriam-Webster Dictionary added “five hole” to its official lexicon in 2017, defining it as “the space between the legs of a goaltender.” The dictionary states that the term’s first known use dates back to 1980, although this claim has been contested by hockey historians.
A more credible origin story credits Jacques Plante, the legendary Montreal Canadiens goaltender, with coining the term. In his 1972 book “On Goaltending,” Plante referred to the five holes that goalies must protect, with the space between the legs being the fifth and central hole.
The Five Scoring Areas in Hockey
To fully appreciate the significance of the five hole, it’s essential to understand the concept of scoring areas in hockey. Goalies are tasked with protecting five primary areas where players aim to shoot:
- Stick-side low
- Glove-side low
- Glove-side high
- Stick-side high
- Between the legs (five hole)
While the corners are often referred to by their relative position to the goalie’s stick or glove, the five hole remains the only numbered “hole” in common hockey parlance.
Exploiting the Five Hole: Strategies and Techniques
Scoring through the five hole is no easy feat, especially against skilled goaltenders. However, as players approach the net, the goalie’s reaction time decreases, and more angles become available. This proximity creates opportunities to exploit the five hole effectively.
Direct Shots
One straightforward approach to targeting the five hole is through direct shots. NHL superstar Sidney Crosby has demonstrated this technique, unleashing quick, precise shots from the slot area that manage to slip between the goalie’s pads.
Forehand Five-Hole Technique
Players often employ stickhandling maneuvers to force the goalie to move laterally, creating a brief window to slide the puck through the five hole. Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals has perfected this technique, using a slight backhand to forehand shimmy to displace the goaltender before releasing his shot.
Backhand Five-Hole Deke
The backhand five-hole deke is a deceptive move designed to open up the space between the goalie’s legs. Sebastian Aho of the Carolina Hurricanes has showcased this technique, using stickhandling to shift the goalie’s position before quickly sliding the puck through the five hole.
The Psychology of the Five Hole
The five hole represents more than just a physical space on the ice; it’s a psychological battleground between shooters and goaltenders. For goalies, protecting this vulnerable area requires constant vigilance and quick reflexes. For shooters, exploiting the five hole often involves a combination of skill, timing, and deception.
How does the five hole affect a goalie’s mental game? Goalies must maintain a delicate balance between protecting the five hole and remaining ready to defend against shots to other areas of the net. This constant tension can create opportunities for skilled shooters to exploit hesitation or overcommitment.
Evolution of Goaltending Techniques to Counter the Five Hole
As the importance of the five hole has become more recognized, goaltenders have developed specialized techniques to protect this vulnerable area. How have goalie pads and equipment evolved to better guard the five hole?
Modern goalie pads are designed with a specific focus on closing the five hole quickly and effectively. Many goalies now employ a butterfly style of goaltending, which involves dropping to the knees with legs splayed outward, effectively sealing off the lower portion of the net, including the five hole.
The Paddle Down Technique
One specific technique goalies use to defend against five-hole attempts is the “paddle down” move. In this maneuver, the goalie drops to one knee and places the paddle of their stick flat on the ice, creating an additional barrier in front of the five hole. When executed properly, this technique can frustrate even the most skilled shooters.
Famous Five-Hole Goals in Hockey History
Throughout hockey history, there have been numerous memorable goals scored through the five hole. These moments have often occurred during high-stakes situations, cementing their place in hockey lore.
- Mario Lemieux’s breakaway goal in the 1987 Canada Cup final
- Peter Forsberg’s shootout winner in the 1994 Olympics
- Patrick Kane’s Stanley Cup-winning goal in 2010
What makes these goals particularly memorable? Often, it’s the combination of high pressure, skillful execution, and the element of surprise that elevates a five-hole goal from routine to legendary.
Training and Drills to Improve Five-Hole Scoring
For players looking to enhance their ability to score through the five hole, specific training drills can be invaluable. How can players practice targeting the five hole effectively?
Quick Release Drills
One effective drill involves setting up multiple pucks in the slot area and practicing quick releases aimed at the five hole. This helps players develop the speed and accuracy needed to exploit brief openings between the goalie’s pads.
Deking Drills
Another useful exercise focuses on stickhandling and deking movements designed to open up the five hole. Players can practice moves like the forehand-backhand deke or lateral shimmy, followed by a quick shot or slide through the five hole.
Reaction Time Drills
Improving reaction time is crucial for both shooters and goaltenders. Drills that involve quick decision-making and hand-eye coordination can help players better exploit or defend the five hole in game situations.
By incorporating these drills into their training regimen, players can significantly improve their ability to score through the five hole, adding a potent weapon to their offensive arsenal.
What is the Five Hole in Hockey?
When attempting to score in hockey, players tend to aim at areas left open by the goalie.
The better the goalie, the more they cover these openings on net, namely because of proper positioning. However, the closer you approach the goalie, the harder for them to protect all the angles.
One area that becomes more vulnerable as you get closer is the five hole. This is especially true if you can force the goalie to move laterally across the crease.
What is the five hole in hockey?
The five hole refers to the open space between the goaltender’s legs where the puck can pass through. The term is commonly attributed to the 5th pin in bowling, which is located at the center of the alignment. It is also the 5th of the five spots where players aim to shoot past the goalie.
Take a look at the image below, which identify each of the five areas to shoot on net.
Keep in mind that nobody refers to these corners as the three hole or one hole, for example. These terms never caught on.
Rather, players use terms such as stick-side and glove-side – high or low. (i.e. stick-side high)
Etymology of Five Hole
As mentioned earlier, the term “five-hole” is thought to have originated from the sport of bowling. In the standard 10-pin version, the 5th pin is the centermost in the triangular formation. Alternatively, the Canadian version of bowling consists of only five pins, with the middle pin being worth 5 points when knocked down.
In addition, Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines “five hole” as “the space between the legs of a goaltender”. It was added to their list of definitions back in 2017. While they do not provide an exact reference, Merriam-Webster states that its first known use was back in 1980.
According to Wikipedia, David Neal is credited with using the term “five hole” back in 1980. However, I can confirm that this statement is not true.
Neal’s name is mentioned in an article by Bardown, describing him using the term while writing for the sports section of the Miami Herald.
He states that Pavel Bure scored five hole on Jeff Hackett to help the Florida Panthers beat the Montreal Canadiens.
The problem is that the game never took place in 1980. The game was held sometime between 1999-2003, while both players played for the cited teams.
According to this Star Tribune report, the term “five hole” originated from Jacques Plante, the famous Montreal Canadiens goaltender. He is also the author of the book On Goaltending, written in 1972, which refers to the five holes goalies must protect.
As with the diagram above, Plante named corners one through four as stick-side low, glove-side low, glove-side high, and stick-side high. However, would the numbers flip if the goalie was left-handed (i.e. stick held on the left side)?
This is still in debate, which is another reason why reference to the one through four hole never stuck.
Scoring Five Hole
The farther you’re from the net, the harder it is to score five-hole. In all honesty, it’s hard to score on any good goaltender, unobstructed, from far.
As you approach the net, the goalie has less time to react with more angles to cover. There is also the threat of the player passing to a teammate stationed by the far post, exposing the opening between the legs.
We’ll cover some of these different techniques and provide video examples which target the five hole.
Shot
In the video below, Sidney Crosby managed to shake loose from the Tampa Bay Lightning defense and elected to shoot on net from the slot area.
This is pure example of shooting five hole on net. The shot was quick, precise and managed to elude the goalie’s blade guarding the space between the pads.
If you want to learn more about the different shots used by NHL players, make sure to check out my blog post here.
Hint: I’ve counted 15 shot types.
Forehand Five-Hole
When you shift the goalie’s position, it opens up a small opportunity to slide the puck five hole. You can achieve this either by stickhandling side-to-side and release a quick shot.
In the video below, Alex Ovechkin (Washington Capitals) does a slight backhand to forehand shimmy to force Ondrej Pavelec (Winnipeg Jets) to move laterally.
Backhand Five-Hole
The backhand five hole deke is a deception technique to open the goalie up between the legs.
In the video below, Sebastien Aho (Carolina Hurricanes) uses it to perfection against Ben Bishop (Dallas Stars).
When Aho stickhandles to his backhand, he forces Bishop to shift his position and displace laterally. Bishop probably thought Aho was aiming backhand glove-side, which shifted his focus away from his five-hole.
Official hockey lingo: Merriam-Webster adds ‘five-hole’ to the dictionary
Five-hole: a noun.
“The space between the legs of a goaltender,” Merriam-Webster defines the hockey jargon in its latest addition to the English language dictionary.
Please use it in a sentence.
“A blast through the five-hole of Montreal’s Jeff Hackett gave the Panthers a 1–0 lead 13:33 into the game,” the definition states.
May I get the country of origin?
Unknown, but the first known use of the word was in 1980 and the concept likely originated with from former NHL goalie Jacques Plante.
Five-hole is one of more than 1,000 new words added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary this this week along with airball, humblebrag, binge-watch, photobomb, FLOTUS, EpiPen and phytoremediation.
Hockey fans are very familiar with the five-hole, but the lingo has not been widely and officially recognized until now.
The new word has appeared three times in our Wild coverage this season.
Wild forward Erik Haula used it to tell “[Zack Mitchell] to stop shooting five-hole every time.”
Wild goalie Devan Dubnyk said “[Jared Spurgeon] almost scored on me first. I thanked him, but I was like, ‘Really, you’re the one that put it through my five-hole, so you better sweep it out of there or we’re gonna have to go on TV.’ No, that’s not the first and I’m sure it won’t be the last time he bails me out, so that was nice of him.”
Even beat writer Michael Russo mixed it into his writing: “The mental giant recalled immediately the bizarre five-hole goal [Patrick] Kane scored against him last year the moment Kane flubbed a knuckler to beat him in the first period. In the second, after a faceoff, a Kane shot funkily ramped up Matt Dumba’s stick to beat Dubnyk.”
Merriam-Webster also added sports words “up-fake” and “airball,” both basketball jargon, to the dictionary.
There are now 12 hockey words in the dictionary: Five-hole, slew-foot, deke, hat trick, dance, Zamboni, dangle, icing, slap shot, rink, puck and hockey.
According to Merriam-Webster, “The concept of the five-hole likely originated with Jacques Plante, NHL goalie and author of the 1972 book On Goaltending. Plante numbered five ‘holes’ in the net that goalies needed to protect: four at the corners of the net, and the hole between the goalie’s legs. Though there is some debate about how to number holes one through four — Plante lists one through four as stick-side low, glove-side low, glove-side high, and stick-side high — all sources follow Plante’s lead when it comes to the five-hole. Though no one uses one-, two-, three-, or four-hole when referring to shots or saves, five-hole has stuck for shorthand for ‘between the legs.’ ”
Here is an example of Haula scoring through the five-hole:

What does “five hole” mean in hockey?
Dear Sports Fan,
What does “five hole” mean in hockey? I’ve heard announcers talk about “going five hole” and “protecting the five hole” and even “giving him the five hole and then taking it away.” What on earth is going on?
Thanks,
Alejandro
Dear Alejandro,
The “five hole” is one of those terms that has a very technical source but is used quite commonly. When used in the context of hockey, the five hole is the area between the goalies legs. If a player “goes five hole” that means they are an attacker who tries to shoot the puck into the net between the goalie’s legs. “Protecting the five hole” is something every goalie must be good at. When a goalie moves from side to side, she invariably creates some separation between her legs because she needs to push off her back leg to generate power. A goalie has to be able to push off powerfully and then get into a closed position quickly again. Sometimes goalies will intentionally lure shooters into thinking there is room to score between their legs (in the five hole) and then as soon as they begin to shoot, close that area down and prevent the puck from scoring. That’s “giving him the five hole and then taking it away.”
The source of the phrase is a numbering system that coaches and players use to talk about the location of shots. Area one is above the goalie’s glove hand. That’s usually the left hand, since most goalies (as opposed to other hockey players, oddly enough) are right-handed. Area two is the same side but below the glove. Area three is high on the other side, where the goalie holds her stick and rectangular blocker. Area four is low on the stick side. Area five is between the goalies legs. Areas six and seven are medium in terms of hight on the stick side and glove side respectively and may have been added after the system was initially developed. Each area can also be called a hole because it represents a potential spot where a puck can wriggle through the goalie’s attempt to create a solid defense of the net.
The reason for the terms popularity probably comes from two sources: first, it’s the easiest to remember. If you’re a hockey announcer and you see someone score a goal through another hole, you have to quickly figure out which side of the net it went into and then whether the goalie is a righty or a lefty before you can say with confidence which hole was exploited. The five hole is easy! It’s always in the middle. The second reason may already have occurred to you. It’s mildly funny in a sexual way. This humor has been enjoyed by members of the Five Hole Band whose music was featured in the Toronto Film Festival 2009 Top Ten Canadian Short Film, “5 Hole Tales of Hockey Erotica.” There’s also an unrelated book called The Five Hole Stories by Dave Bidini, another (shocking!) Canadian artist. There are also crass T-shirts that encourage you to “score through the five hole” or “show me your five hole.”
From the arcane to the commonplace to the obscene, the more you know, the more you know!
Thanks for your question,
Ezra Fischer

Goaltending Pitfalls: 3 Common Areas to Work On
Amherstburg Admirals
Goalies are alone back there, doing a job most would not. And yet they seem to face the most scrutiny for a team’s success.
By Christopher Gibson
Goaltending is an extraordinarily difficult game on the mind and body. Goalies are alone back there, performing a job that most would not, and yet they seem to face the most scrutiny for a team’s level of success. This scrutiny is heightened when a pattern develops in the location of where goals are scored on a goalie. Here are some of the common goaltending pitfalls and weaknesses, along with their origins and tips on how to be better prepared for shots aimed at these areas.
High Glove
The most common spot for shooters looking to score a “pretty” goal, or looking to exploit the tendencies of the butterfly goalie (one who looks to make most saves from his/her knees) is over the glove hand. It seems that the goalies who have had baseball or softball experience have this one covered, for the most part. Those who have trouble must be sure that the glove hand is positioned with the palm facing outwards, towards the shooter. The angle that the hand is held at is important as well. If your hand is totally vertical—as if you are waving at the shooters, fingertips pointed to the sky—you will have difficulty stopping lower shots on the glove side. If your hand is held horizontally—thumb pointed to the sky—you will undoubtedly give up more to this high-glove area unless you have exceptional hand-eye coordination and very quick reflexes. A happy medium in glove-hand positioning is what some call “2 o’clock,” with the arm bent at roughly 90 degrees, and the hand somewhere between horizontal and vertical positioning, or whatever feels most comfortable.
Hand height is a matter of preference and is really secondary to the practice of holding hands forward and away from the body, almost to full extension. This is vital in the sense that you are cutting down the angle at which the puck can find its way around your glove and into the net. In theory, this is exactly the same practice you exhibit when skating to the top of the crease and beyond to challenge shooters, only it is being applied to the hands. The result is that shots either hit the glove or, due to its extended position, can only miss the glove if they are coming in at such an angle where they would miss the net all together. You will surely experience great results by following this one simple piece of advice: Be sure that both glove hands are always up and extended throughout all movements.
Low-Mid Blocker
This shooting target became relatively popular with the advent of the butterfly. Goalies dropping to the butterfly are committed to keeping both legs on the ice, and shots coming about a foot off of the ice on the stick side can find their way over the leg pad and underneath the blocker. In fact, one of the most common goaltending pitfalls is that most goalies tend to have trouble with shots headed anywhere between the hip and the post at this height. The biggest reason for this is that the natural instinct is to pull the blocker hand in towards the body, in an attempt to trap a shot between the arm and body. This is almost always a serious mistake, as this move puts the large blocking surface (the “waffle board”) of the blocker facing up and backward, or really anywhere else that is not outward and facing the shooter.
The proper move for shots headed to this region is to reach for the shot with the blocker hand always in the same position, with the back of the hand facing the shooter. This keeps the blocker in optimal stopping position for maximum coverage. It’s tough to fight instinct in this situation, but if you watch closely you’ll see that the shots that beat goalies in this area feature the same “trapping” reaction. Keeping your hands in proper position at all times is the reoccurring theme here.
Five-Hole
This spot is another troublesome one of those goaltending pitfalls that have plagued goalies since the beginning of time. While goaltenders have been stopping more low shots with the transition from standup to butterfly, the space between the legs remains a weakness for every goalie. No matter how big or small a goalie is, how aggressive or conservative they play, or even how often one drops to the ice, the five-hole is always a viable option for shooters. Even worse, opponents who favor the five-hole have a newfound opportunity against butterfly-style goalies: the breakaway. Lateral movements made by butterfly goalies to defend against dekes often feature reaching towards the posts with the feet, leaving a gap down the middle. This allows the shooter to “stop halfway” through the deke and let the puck slide right down the middle for a goal, a common move. The five-hole is also targeted on one-timers and other situations that require the goalie to spread out while moving laterally.
Of course, there is no one piece of advice to solve this problem. What can be offered are some tips that may help reduce the number of five-hole goals allowed, the first of which is to use a heavier stick. While it may seem counter-intuitive, it actually takes less effort to keep a heavier stick on the ice covering the five-hole. This especially comes into play when moving laterally, as a lighter stick will naturally come off of the ice when leading into a movement with the hands. Heavier sticks are also cheaper than lighter, composite ones, and therefore it’s a relatively low-risk experiment for you to try.
Also, there is the “dropping method” that many rec hockey goalies have never been taught. It is simple to explain and tedious to practice: Basically the heels must be “ripped” backwards and the knees pinched together in one smooth motion. This cuts down the amount of time it takes for the pads to hit the ice and therefore allows less space for a shot to sneak through. If you can consciously work on keeping your knees together at all times while in the butterfly, you should see an improvement in five-hole coverage.
Lastly, a surprisingly way of dealing with these goaltending pitfalls is to have a little help from your equipment. (It certainly can’t hurt.) While many levels are cracking down on goaltender equipment regulations, the recreational hockey leagues usually have little or no restrictions on performance-enhancing equipment. Many older leg pads have thigh “boards” that are designed to protect the thighs, but even more so, they provided some extra coverage against shots directed between the legs. When the restrictions on goalie gear cut them out of the equation, they were more commonly referred to as “cheaters.” Again, if your league does not ban them, they will definitely save you—and your team—a few goals over the course of a season.
Anything and everything you can use to gain an edge to overcome these goaltending pitfalls should become a part of your game.

Western University researcher’s work helps hockey goalies stop five hole shots
Every hero has an Achilles’ heel and for hockey goaltenders it’s the space between their legs, but new pads based on research from Western University could help to close that gap and make it easier for goalies to stop pucks.
Western University PhD candidate Ryan Frayne is a goaltender himself and knows all too well the disappointment of having a puck slip through the five hole.
“[It’s] almost kind of a shot to your ego because the puck goes through you. .. That means the player’s shot was more powerful than your ability to stop pucks,” Frayne told CBC Radio’s The Morning Edition host Craig Norris on Tuesday.
Of all the goaltending methods out there, perhaps the most common is when goalies drop to their knees while flaring their legs outwards to block pucks, a move called the butterfly. But the technique can leave goalies vulnerable to having pucks go between their legs, a problem made worse by heavy pads that can weigh goalies down and make it tricky to be swift on the ice.
An ‘arms race’ of goalie companies
Frayne says that’s spurred a whole field of research dedicated to improving goalies’ performance, involving everything from making pads water-resistant to using lighter-weight material such as synthetics instead of the traditional horse-hide leather.

“It’s the arms race of goalie companies right now,” Frayne said.
Together with industry partner Reebok-CCM Hockey, Frayne is studying goalie pad motion and the science of body mechanics, examining how goaltenders move in simulated performance exercises.
He says even the straps that attach pads to goaltenders’ legs can add bulk – up to one-fifth of the total weight of the pad.
“We wanted to figure out if we could correlate which straps were the most pertinent to performance,” Frayne said in a release Thursday.
‘Always looking for that edge’
As it turns out, it’s possible to remove select straps, keeping only the ones needed for prime goalie performance.

“A goaltender can now have the ice sealed, blocked and protected in a way for pucks to not go between their legs versus somebody else, in a different setup, who is still vulnerable to pucks going through their five hole,” said Frayne.
The details can seem minute to some, Frayne admits, but it reflects how the goaltender’s role has changed.
“Goaltending has become a really academic position over the last ten years,” he said.
But he maintains interest in the technology behind goaltending equipment isn’t slowing down. “I think it’s because goaltenders are always looking for that edge,” he said.
And with the Kitchener Rangers getting set for their game against Guelph Tuesday night, Frayne’s research could make it that much easier for goaltender Luke Opilka and other goalies to take their teams to a win.
A hole is a hole is hole

We have all heard the announcers describe a goal that beat the goalie through the five hole. The fifth hole is the one between the goalies pads. Actually there are a total of six holes, or areas we isolate in order to teach goalies how to close holes (and to teach shooters how to score). So let’s examine these six holes.
Hole No. 1
Low to the Stick Side
This used to be the most popular place to score a goal. The goalie can only rely on the quickness of his pad on a butterfly or half butterfly save. The goalie stick is a non-factor on a shot to this spot. Goalies actually become better with their stick glove leg than their catch glove leg because the stick cannot be a crutch.
More and more goalies are reaching down with their blocker to cover this area, or are dropping their paddle to cover this hole in tight.
Hole No. 2
Low to the Glove Side
Most goaltenders are much weaker with this leg, but rely on their stick and possible catch glove. Less goals are scored here than through hole No. 1, just because of the stick and glove options not because of fast feet. Goalies must improve the use of their catch glove pad.
Hole No. 3
High Stick Side
This is an area that is very tough to score on. Because of the size of the stick glove, and its position, there is not a lot of room. It may look like net is available, but it is very hard, for example, for a righty to shoot the puck across his body over or past the stick glove of a goalie who holds his stick in his right hand.
Hole No. 4
High Catch Glove Side
This is an area players love to shoot at and rightfully so because there are lots of goals scored here. However, more probably miss the net and hit the glass than are saved.
Goalies hurt themselves with their glove positioning in this hole. Often they drop their glove too low, or position the glove in front of their chest so the entire middle to top portion of the net of the glove side is wide open. (We call this a claw). Shooters with good hands often change the location of the puck and goalies rarely adjust, further emphasizing the top shelf, glove side.
Occasionally, too, goalies try to catch the puck behind them and cannot get it as it rises past them. Ideally, the catch glove should be above the waist, in front of the body, and extended out the side.

Hole No. 5
Between the Pads
Having watched years of professional hockey games and practice, I am convinced that the 5-hole is the most popular location to shoot. With the advent of the butterfly style, and the fact that the bigger the goalie, the larger the legs and the longer the way down, the 5-hole is a mouth-watering target of many shooters. Goalies are scored on here for one of the following reasons:
A sloppy stick. Shots on the ice, which should be stopped by the stick, end up going in because of a stick that is not disciplined enough to stay in position, covering the 5-hole.
Soft Kneedrops. Whether a full of half butterfly, pucks go under goalies because they drop softly.
Lack of flexibility. A goaltender needs to be able to leave his or her feet, flair out the pads, yet still keep the knees together. That does not always happen and pucks make it through.
Bad equipment. The goal pants need to work with the pads to close all holes when the goalie drops. If the pants are too small, or the pads too short, holes open.
Hole No. 6
The New 6 hole.
With the increased use of the butterfly and half butterfly, a new hole has become a target of many shooters, the one between the body and stick glove (see Photo No. 2). If the goaltender is not disciplined with his stick, or especially if the paddle of the goal stick is too long, this hole becomes very large and tough to defend.
Goalie Tips – Goalie Technique – Goalie review – Butterfly Technique – Goalie Training
Part 2 of 3
Every day I am on the ice training goalies and one message that is consistently reinforced is stick positioning. With 70-90% percent of goals going in low in the NHL, having a strong stick position is crucial for success in the net. During my goalie sessions at Goalie U or in this Blog you will often here me referring to the “Phantom Stick” . This is when a goalie believes there stick is covering the 5 hole but in effect it is out of position leaving the area between the goalies legs wide open for a shooter to score. In part 1 I explained the importance of having the proper stick length. In part two of this three part article I will explain the 3 main causes of the “Phantom Stick” .
1) LEAD WITH YOUR STICK:
The most common mistake leading to a juicy 5 hole is when a goalie moves or is in transition and does not lead with their stick. I am sure you have all heard this expression before but really what does it mean? Well in effect every time a goalie moves, the stick should remain between their legs. Easier said then done! For example, when a goalie leaves their post, to challenge out to a player, their stick should first be to the side of the net. When the goalie begins their explosive push to square up to the puck, the first movement should be with the blocker arm allowing the stick to remain between the legs throughout the movement. If a goalie forgets the initial movement with the arm in order to square up the stick “Phantom Stick” will occur. The stick will drag behind the goalie’s body leaving the 5 hole completely exposed. This is especially common among younger goalies who either forget as they want to get to the puck as fast as possible or are not strong enough to push the stick in front of them while in transition.
2) KEEP YOUR STICK OF YOUR PAD:
Another very common mistake that leads to many 5 hole goals is when a goalie is in their stance and rests their blocker along the outside of their pad. In effect the goalie’s stick is on the ice but is only covering a small portion of the 5 hole. This bad habit leaves a big space between the inside of the trapper pad and the tip of the stick. This problem also creates a difficult blade angle with only the heel of the stick touching the ice. Having this overly relaxed stance creates an even wider 5 hole when the goalie is shuffling to their trapper side. Every time the goalie’s trapper leg moves laterally to shuffle the 5 hole widens. However, the stick is stuck on the side of the pad creating an open hole for the shooter. Simply moving the blocker forward off the pad will allow the stick to remain even between both pads. This way when a goalie shuffles the stick will move with the body as opposed to being delayed as a result of resting on the pad.
3) BRING YOUR STICK ALONG FOR THE SLIDE: ( A MUST READ)
Another common cause for the Phantom Stick perception is when a goalie pivots to load their slide and they leave their stick behind them. Even the top NHL goalies can be seen sliding with their sticks trailing behind. This tendency happens most often when a goalie is sliding to their trapper side. The momentum of the pivot brings the body away from the stick and if the goalie does not make an active effort to keep the stick in their 5 hole the stick will drag behind. The best way to avoid this mistake is to make a conscious effort to pivot with the skate and the stick. This means that the stick will rotate simultaneously with the pivot allowing the 5 hole to be covered throughout the slide.
This is less of an issue when sliding on the blocker side as the blocker arm tends to rotate naturally with the momentum of the pivot. The goalie should still focus on keeping the stick between the legs but it is done more naturally on the blocker side.
Keeping your stick in the 5 hole is often overlooked in practice and neglecting this skill can lead to many costly goals. I highly recommend you take the time to eliminate any of the bad habits mentioned in this article and watch your save percentage sky rocket.

90,000 Cagliari, bitter debut at home: against Lazio: 0: 2
Defeat Di Francesco for Cagliari in the home debut of the 2020/21 championship.
Lazio won 2-0 at Sardenya Arena thanks to a goal from Lazzari in the first half, which was repeated by Immobile in the second half. For the Russians, regret that they missed a sensational opportunity with Simeone at the start of the second half.
COMPOSITION – For the match against Biancocelesti, the coach of Sardinia chooses Cranjo, Farago, Valukevich, Klavan, Lycogiannis, Nandez, Marina, Rog, Sottila, Joao Pedro, Simeone.
Instead, Inzaghi answers Strakoshi, Patrick, Acerbi, Radu, Lazzari, Milinkovic Savic, Leiva, Luis Alberto, Marusic, Correa and Immobile.
The direction of the race is assigned to the referee Mass.
FIRST HALF – The game starts immediately uphill for the hosts. Less than 4 minutes later, Correa kicks off Marusic, who flies offside on the left, kicks out Farago and replaces Lazzari, who is faster than Lykogiannis and finds a winning deviation for the visitors’ advantage from two steps.
After the strike was sunk by the guests, on the wave of enthusiasm that they storm. Cagliari, on the other hand, crushed in the area, is focused on restarts.
The first real chance for Rossoblu appears in the 25th minute: Strakosha misses a delay, causing Cagliari to act, the ball reaches the Horn, who tries to take a corner, but the goalkeeper from Biancoceleste knows how to neutralize the threat.
Cagliari is gaining courage, but the guests are still dangerous, first with Milinkovic and Lazzari, then with Immobile, but in both cases Cranjo shows his reaction.
João Pedro tries at the end of the half, but the Brazilian’s edge penalty does not go well and hits the target.
Yes before the break when the score is 0: 1.
<| AF-952635-Lazio_feast_after_the_gol_ansa |>
SECOND HALF – Recovery starts with a more motivated Cagliari. And after 3 minutes, a super chance comes: Joao Pedro takes the ball between the lines and finishes from 25 meters, Strakosha parries on Simeone’s feet, who, with the door open, incredibly breaks through the crossbar.
Lazio again at 65 ‘: Milinkovic tries from the edge, but finds the tip of Cranjo’s gloves, which hits on the corner.
A minute later Valukevich fails to find the winning shot after Likogiannis’s long free kick from the left.
Di Francesco realizes that it is time to change something, and calls for the first change: from Marina, in Caligara, which started in the opening match against Sassuolo.
But in the 75th minute Lazio found a double: Marusic is still running away from Farago, the ball is in the center for Immobile and the 17-hole bomber of the first intention of Cranjo, making 0: 2.
After receiving the second hit, Mr. Di Francesco shuffles the cards again, causing a triple substitution: from Sottila, Farago and Simeone to Pavoletti, Zappa and Despods. Then, 4 from the end, in Tripaldelli, instead of Lykogiannis.
In the last minutes and in the recovery, the Rossobla are counting on canopies and throws to the head of Pavoletti. But it’s too late to correct the match.
Lazio rejoices at triple whistle and Rossoblu win their first defeat of the season.

Leixlip – Russian
When using text, please include a link to this page.
Leislip (or) is a city in the northeast of County Kildare, Ireland, near Dublin. Its location at the confluence of the Liffey and Rye Water rivers has made it a historically frontier town – on the border between the ancient kingdoms of Leinster and Brega, as an outpost of Settlement, and on the border between Kildare and County Dublin. Leislip was also a civil parish in the ancient Salt North barony.
As of 2016, the population of the city was 15 504 people. It is the fourth largest city in Kildare and the 29th largest in Ireland.
name
The name of the place comes from the old Scandinavian weak hlaup (Younger Futhark- ᛚᛅᚼᛋ ᚼᛚᛅᚢᛒ), which means “salmon jump”. The Irish title (Laim Bhadain) is a direct translation of this, and was first adopted in the 1890s. (see archival records) In Latin, it is Saltus salmonis, from which the names of the barons of North Salt and South Salt are derived.
History
Lakeslip was the eventual site of the Battle of Confit, in which the Viking king Sigtrig Kaech of Dublin defeated the Irish king Leinster around 917.The first settlement at Lakeslip was an outpost of early Scandinavian Dublin, built at the farthest point where long ships could be paddled up the Liffey. Its status as an outpost of Dublin has persisted for centuries, marking the border of Settlement.
Arthur Guinness’s first brewery appeared in the city in 1756, where he brewed ale, until he moved to the St. James’s Gate Brewery in Dublin in 1759.
The first history of the city was published in 2005.
Politics
Leislip is part of the Kildare North Constituency, which elects four members to Dyle Erianne.
Leislip, along with Selbridge, constitutes the Selbridge-Leislip electoral zone, which elects seven members to the Kildare County Council. Two of these members are based in Leixlip.
Between 1988 and 2014, Lakeslip had a nine-member city council (formerly Lakeslip city councilors), headed by Cathaoirleach (chairman).In 1990, the city’s coat of arms was introduced by Minister Padreig Flynn. The 2014 Local Government Reform Act abolished city councils, including Lakesleep, in 2014

Local attractions
Lakeslip Castle
Built on a cliff at the confluence of the Liffey and Rye Water rivers, the central section of the castle dates back to 1172, just after the Norman invasion in 1171, and is one of the oldest continuously inhabited buildings in Ireland, predating Dublin Castle by 30 years. It was used as a hunting base by King John when he was Lord of Ireland in 1185. It was of little military importance, but withstood a 4-day siege by the army of Edward the Bruce in 1316.The 90,160 Leixlip and 809 acres around it (excluding the castle) were purchased by William Conoletti of nearby Castletown House for approximately £ 12,000 in 1728. The castle was bought by Conoli’s nephew and heir, William James Conoli, in 1731. His family sold it in 1914. Notable tenants of the Conollys at the castle included Archbishop Stone, the Protestant Primate (1750s), Viceroy Lord Townsend (1770s), Lord Aqua Park, and Baron de Robeck (drowned in a salmon ride).In the 1920s, it was the seat of the first French ambassador to the Irish Free State. In 1945, the castle was sold to William Kavanagh, before being bought in 1958 by the Honorable Desmond Guinness.
Castlettown House Wonderful Barn
Located on the main street of nearby Kelbridge, Castletown House is Ireland’s first grand Palladian house – a building project that led to the construction of Leinster House and from there to the White House in Washington, DC. The beginning was laid in 1722 by Speaker William Conolly (1662-1729), Speaker of the Irish House of Commons, the land and the house itself lie in Kelbridge, however, there is also an entrance from Lakeslip, therefore, there are two modern residential complexes named Castletown, one in every city.In 1743, a conical building was built on the east side of Castlettown – the Wonderful Barn, with stairs leading up the outside of the building.
Priory of St. Catherine
The Catherine Monastery was acquired by Judge Nicholas White and was an important monastery in the Middle Ages.
Confey Castle
British publisher and cartographer Samuel Lewis mentions Confit Castle in the first volume of his 1837 Topographic Dictionary of Ireland.In it, he comments that the population of Confi (or Confoi, as he pronounces it) was 165 people, before he had a city and a castle, which were noticed by Camden. The remains of the tower were a massive five-story structure with towers at the north and west corners, which in the north corner contained a spiral staircase leading through pointed arches to each floor. The main entrance was under a semicircular arch. It is said that during the war of 1688 there was a strong garrison in the castle and it withstood the attack.
Leixlip Spa
Leixlip Spa was found in 1793 by workers working on the construction of the Royal Canal, which runs through the Leixlip.
Jump with salmon
The main attraction of Leixlip in the past was the Salmon jump, from which the city is named, a 5-meter waterfall at Liffey just upstream of the then village. In 1945, the construction of the hydroelectric power plant was completed, and its lake was flooded with a waterfall. The dam generates 4 megawatts.
Religion
Leislip is divided into two parishes of the Roman Catholic Church, Leislip (Nativity of the Virgin) and Confey (St. Charles Borromeo), each with its own parish church. The parish of St. Mary’s Irish Church also has a church in Lakeslip located on Main Street. This medieval church was renovated in the 1750s with Gothic windows, and the clock on its bell tower dates back to 1720. People from the parish of the Nativity of the Virgin also have their own personality, which is different from the people in the confey parish.The members of the Confey parish are known as “hillers” and the people of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary parish are known as “farmers.” There is a common local rivalry between the two different parishes, which is especially noticeable during sporting events.
Education and Library
As with religion and sports, education in Lakeslip is divided into two Catholic parishes – Lakeslip (Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary) and Confit (Saint Charles Borromeo).
Relevant schools in the Confey area are Community College (community school), Scoil San Carlo (elementary school), and Scoil San Carlo Senior School (both national schools).Confey College has a total of approximately 750 students and, like Coláiste Chiaráin, has a mixed gender and non-denominational teaching. The name “San Carlo”, although used as the Irish names for national schools in the parish of St. Charles Borromeo, is actually Italian and not an actual Irish translation (which would be “Naomh Cathal”).
Lakeslip also has one of the few Montessori elementary schools in Ireland, Weston Primary Montessori School.Founded in 2016 by the parents and teachers of Gleb’s former school, this school provides Montessori education to children from 3 to 12 years old and is located on the territory of the Barnhall rugby club.
The public library opened in Leixlip in May 2006. It is located in Confey, next to the city council office. It is also close to Scoil San Carlo and Confey Train Station. The Leixlip Library hosts a variety of events and activities, and offers free internet access to its members.

Sudden death (sport)
Competition form
In sport or game, sudden death (also sudden death or sudden death ) is a form of competition in which the game ends as soon as one participant gets ahead of the others, and this participant becomes the winner.Sudden death is usually used as a tie-break when the duel is equal at the end of the main (normal) playing time or at the end of a normal game task.
An alternative method of sudden death tiebreak is to play an additional shorter segment of the game. AFA 30 minutes extra time (overtime) after 90 minutes of normal time or through golf one playoff round (18 holes) after four standard rounds (72 holes) – two alternatives. The sudden death playoffs usually end more quickly than the shortcut playoffs.Reducing the variability in event duration helps those planning TV shows and team trips. Fans may view sudden death as an exciting and unsettling situation, or they may see the format as a trade-off for the sport versus playing in regular time. For example, prior to 2012, the National Football League (American Football) used the sudden death rule, which encouraged the team in possession to simply score a field goal to end the game, rather than trying to score a touchdown.
Sudden death gives away the winner of the competition without requiring a specific period of time. This may be called “ next score wins ” or the like, although in some games the winner may be the punishment of another participant for a mistake. Called sudden death sudden victory avoiding mention of death and serious illness, especially in sports with a high risk of physical injury. This euphemism became one of the announcers of Kurt Gaudíidiosyncrasy in 1971, when the AFC divisional championship game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins went to overtime.
North American professional sports using the sudden death method to resolve a draw includes a modified version now used by the National Football League, the National Hockey League, and in the modified sense of the PGA Tour (golf). Baseball uses a unique problem-solving technique that includes elements of sudden death. In baseball, the home team’s winning streak in the extra inning is often called to leave , as players can leave the field immediately.
In some goal-scoring games, sudden death may be given overtime in which the first goal scored wins. In associative football, this is called the golden goal , although it was canceled from the FIFA Law of the Game in 2004.
Sudden death was perceived as unfit for the net football [ citation needed ] because this process gives an inherent advantage to a team that starts with possession: they can end the game immediately by driving a relatively short distance within shot range and then kick a field goal, but protection points such as six or safety are much less common.
All organized forms of American football have canceled net sudden deaths for overtime work since the 2011 season. High school football and college football never used it, instead either letting the ties stand or using alternatives such as the Kansas playoffs.
Until 1940, all National Football League games tied at the end of regular time ended in draws. At the end of the 1940 season, the President of the NFL. Karl Stork announced that periods of sudden death will be allowed for any playoff game required to determine the name of any division.This did not apply to the league championship game, which, in the event of a tie, would have crowned the second champion. [1] Commissioner Elmer Leiden approved a similar scheme for the 1941 season with the same restriction.
Sudden Death Overtime was approved for the 1946 NFL Championship game. [2] and remains in effect. [3] [4] The first playoff game requiring overtime was the 1958 NFL Championship. [5]
In 1974, the NFL introduced 15-minute sudden death overtime for regular season games; in 2017, it was cut to 10 minutes.The game ends in a draw if neither team scores in extra time. When a team gets near the end of the zone, he usually tries to kick a field goal. An extra game can also be won by hitting a landing (in which case no extra point is taken). This usually happened in a game that started with a field far enough from the end zone to make a shot for a field goal difficult, if not impossible, but it could also be the result of a team choosing not to attempt a field goal until reaching fourth position. even if the team enters the simple shot for a field goal; this strategy only works if the team can retain possession and do not carry the ball, intercept or lose enough yards to leave the field of play.Security won only three times in overtime. In recent years, sports commentators have referred to such high-score games as “leaving,” as both teams can leave the field after the game.
Since the 2010-11 playoffs, each team has been allowed to score at least one possession in extra time in the postseason, unless the team that kicked off scores a touchdown or if the defending team scores a touchdown or safe possession at the same time. possession. These sudden death rules apply if both teams originally had the ball and the game remains level.This rule did not actually apply during the 2010 playoffs, as the first overtime game under the new rules did not take place until 2011. The Denver Broncos scored a long touchdown in their first game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
This rule was adopted for the start of the 2012 regular season. It was adopted to counter criticism that the outcome of overtime games was very often a coin toss, as the team that won it usually took enough attacking action to maneuver within throwing range and rarely made a real effort to score a touchdown…. In the regular season, games that are still equal after one full overtime will be allowed to end in a draw.
Tie in the rules did not occur in the Super Bowl until Super Bowl LI (51).
For games that have been in sudden death for a long time, see After a while.
In arena football from 2007 to 2019, each team was allowed one possession in the first overtime, after which the leading team wins if the score remains tied, after which the sudden death rules apply.(A similar modified 10-minute sudden death format was used in the NFL Europe League.) Until 2007, the league used overtime, an extra period of 7.5 minutes; if at this stage the game was still equal, it was recorded as a draw. The modified sudden death rules led to a final conclusion after one overtime period. (Only one draw has been recorded under each of the previous two overtime rules.) From 2007 to 2019, all football matches in the Arena, both regular season and playoffs, ended as winners.Any subsequent overtime periods were real periods of sudden death. This includes both games from all semi-final series.
Sudden death has a controversial history in the football association. Important matches have traditionally been played by replaying the entire match, but in the era of television and busy travel schedules, this is often not possible. Replays are still used in some major events (eg the FA Cup).
In many matches, if after a full 90 minutes the score is tied, a draw ends; however, if one team is to be thrown, some form of tie-break must take place.Initially, two 15-minute halves were spent, and if at the end of the halves the teams remained equal, kicks from the 11-meter mark were taken.
To try to reduce the likelihood of hitting the 11-meter mark, the IFAB, the world’s sport legislature, experimented with new rules. In a golden goal, the Rule transformed overtime periods into sudden death until the periods of shootouts ended. As this became unpopular, a silver goal was set to rule that the game would end if the score was not tied either after the first 15 minute period or after the second.The Silver Goal also went into disrepute, so Euro 2004 was the last event to use it; after which the original methods of dispute resolution were restored.
The main criticism of the “golden goal” is the speed at which the game ends, as well as the pressure on coaches and players. Once a goal is scored, the game is over and the opponent cannot try to answer the goal in the remaining time. Therefore, teams will pay more attention to not conceding a goal rather than scoring a goal, and many additional golden goal periods have remained zero.
In the NCAA However, the US collegiate play adopted in 1997 for all championship games other than regular season games remains. In 2005, the Division II women’s championship game ended in sudden death as a goal was scored after three minutes of extra time to complete the championship match. [1] Sudden death is also widespread in youth games for player safety reasons.
If, after the initial number of penalties, the teams still have an equal number of points, play proceeds to a sudden death penalty in which each team receives another penalty, repeated until only one team scores, resulting in play.
Boxing
In amateur boxing, if both points are equal and there is no draw option allowed by the rules of the competition, an additional round is assigned; the one who wins this round gets a plus to his score and wins the match by a narrow margin.
Badminton
In badminton, if the set is 29 – all, the golden dot is played; the one who scores this point wins it.
Baseball and softball
Baseball and softball are not true sudden death sports, but they do have one comparable situation.
Baseball and softball games cannot end until both teams have played an equal number of bat moves, unless play continues (by the home team if they lead after 8 1 ⁄ 2 innings) may affect the result. In the final scheduled inning (usually ninth inning in professional and advanced amateur leagues, but usually seventh for youth leagues and softball and sixth for teen leagues such as the Little League), if visitors end their move with a bat but are still following the hosts , the game is over.If the guests are in the lead or the game ends in a draw, the hosts take over the “last ups”. If the home team exceeds the guest score, the game ends at the end of the game in which the home team takes an overwhelming advantage. (If the last scheduled inning ended in a draw, several extra innings will be played and this procedure will be repeated until one of the teams leads the game that wins the game.)
The ability to hit last is an advantage to be a home team.They say that “guests have to play to win; the hosts only need to play to draw, “because a draw requires an extra inning.
A draw at the end of the last scheduled half puts pressure on the guests. For example, with a third base runner and fewer than two outs, visitors cannot even afford certain types of outs that would allow a late game run to score points after an out.
An effective game that ends the game is called “Leaving” – a term originally coined by Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley around 1988 to refer to the home run at the end of the game as “waste” as all the visiting team had to do was leave. fields.It was popularized by sports TV channels after 2000, and it is sometimes mistakenly thought that it was named so because “everyone leaves the field” after a winning streak.
And the final of the game is an exception to the above rule; the game does not end when the outcome wins, but continues until the batter and all the runners score points (assuming they are running the bases correctly), although until 1920 the batter hitting the ball outside the park to end the game. only credit was given for as many bases as necessary to win; if, when hitting the ball, the winning streak was in the third, the batter was counted only one.
Basketball
Basketball has traditionally not used sudden death to decide the game; instead, several five-minute time periods are used to determine the outcome of the games equal after the base game. The entire overtime is played; if the game remains equal, this procedure is repeated.
The NBA Summer League, Summer Development League, uses sudden death basketball after the first overtime. The rules say Double overtime followed by sudden death (first team to score wins). In Sudden Death’s first professional basketball game, Devin Ebanks hit the winner of the game in 45 seconds for the D-League Select team, beating the Atlanta Hawks Summer League. [6]
Another type of basketball requires overtime work associated with sudden death. 3×3 is a formalized version of a three-on-three half court game that uses unlimited overtime, which ends by the rule as soon as one of the teams scores 2 points. In this sport, shots made from behind the three-point arc are worth 2 points, and all other shots are worth 1 point. [7]
Cricket
The lunge was previously used as a tie-break in cricket. Similar to penalty shootouts in other sports, players from both teams received 5 wicket attempts at one end of the serve by throwing the ball at the other end; if after 5 attempts both teams were equal in the number of hits, the bowling proceeded to sudden death, with both teams receiving one additional attempt at a time, and the team that received more hits after both teams had an equal number of attempts to win.
Fencing
Individual fencing a fight lasts five touches in a bullet match or 15 touches in an elimination match (DE) in all three weapons (epee, foil and saber. Also timed (three minutes for a pool match and three periods of three minutes for DE) If none of the fencers scores five or 15 points in the time allotted, the lead fencer is declared the winner, however, if the fencers are tied after the allotted time, one minute of extra time will be added.
Prior to the resumption of the bout, one fencer is randomly assigned a “priority”. The fencer who hits first in extra time wins the match; if no valid hits have been scored during this time, that fencer with priority is declared the winner.
In the normal course of a match, a de facto situation of sudden death occurs if both fencers have equal four (or 14) touches of each. The final hit is called “beauty”.Fencers may greet each other before playing for the final point.
Golf
In an individual match, players level after 18 or 36 holes will play additional holes in the event of sudden death. In team tournaments, players can get half a point for a draw, and not play for sudden death; this is so in the Ryder Cup, For example. In the Presidents’ Cup, there was a sudden death shootout clause for one player if all competitions ended in a draw.When this happened in 2003, the tie-break was incomplete at dusk. There was no extra game day, and both team captains agreed to declare the match equal and share the trophy. [8]
Traditionally, professional draw golf tournaments were lost the next day – an eighteen-hole match. Modern considerations such as television coverage and the busy travel schedules of most top golfers have resulted in the practice being largely abandoned, and in all but the most important tournaments, the champion is determined by sudden death.All players who receive an equal number of points after completing the main game go to a predetermined hole and then play it and other players in order as needed. If at least two players have an equal number of points, the player (s) with more points on the hole than the other competitors are eliminated immediately, and those with a tie continue to play until one of the remaining players scores fewer points per hole than any of the others. the remaining one, which is declared the winner.
Of the four men major championships, only the Masters use the sudden death playoff format first used in 1979. Through 2017 (and last used in 2008), the US Open had an 18-hole playoff the day after the main event , with sudden death if necessary after 18 holes. A two-hole cumulative playoff used since 2018, followed by sudden death if necessary. [9] The Open first used a four-hole all-out playoff in 1989, which was reduced to three holes for 2019. [10] The PGA Championship uses a three-hole full stroke playoff, first used in 2000, it introduced sudden death playoffs for major players in 1977, [11] and used it seven times 1996. Sudden death is used if there is a tie at the end of the scheduled playoffs.
Hockey
Overtime work with sudden death has traditionally been used in the playoffs and ice hockey championships. It has been used by the National Hockey League throughout the history of the league.The first NHL game with sudden death extra time was the fourth game of the 1919 Stanley Cup Final. Currently, the NHL, the American Hockey League, and the ECHL also use the sudden death system in their regular seasons, playing a five-minute overtime period when the score is tied at the end of regular time.
In 2000, the AHL reduced the number of teams to four players each during a five-minute overtime. (But any two-man advantage comes from playing five on three, not four on two.) Both the ECHL and the NHL switched to a four-by-four overtime format in 2001. International Olympic Committee no later than 2010. By 2015, the NHL had switched to a three-by-three format. in SPHL, lower league class A, overtime is three by three, with the team that will play on the powerplay instead being given a fourth and fifth striker, respectively, and any penalty in the last two minutes results in a penalty instead of a power play.
If neither team scores points during this period, the teams will use a penalty shootout of three NHL players or five minor leagues to determine the winner.In the NHL, if neither team wins this shootout, a sudden death penalty kicks in. No player may shoot twice until every goalkeeper on the bench has shot.
However, during the playoffs of the championship, all games are played to the end, with the result that one team wins and the other loses. These are real sudden death games that last up to six additional full 20 minute periods with five players instead of a five minute period with a minimum of three players.
IIHF Ice Hockey from 2019 repeats overtime procedure for gold medal games if neither team scores after one 20-minute overtime period with sudden death; otherwise there will be skirmishes. [12] Shootout is decided in rounds to the best of the 5 rounds, then round by round (in other words, if one team scores in round 6 or later and the other loses, the game is over, unlike most professional leagues) and players can shoot.as many times as the team wishes (the first 5 rounds are played in order, then in reverse; new or same players can be used). (There is a 5 minute extra time in round robin games [10 minutes in elimination games / bronze medals] and a 5 round best score penalty procedure.)
Judo
In the event of a tie in a judo competition, the match goes to the Golden Score, another form of sudden death. Sudden death in competition.Judo consists of a 5-minute match during which the first competitor to score is eligible for the match. Judo penalties are awarded to the other competitor, so fair play is paramount. If the winner is not determined in the Golden Score, the match will be determined based on the decision of the referee. The Referee’s decision is a vote by the Referee and both Judges of the match.
Mixed Martial Arts
Mixed Martial Arts Competitions with an even number of rounds sometimes use a sudden death type if each competitor scores the same number of points.This is not a real sudden death that ends on the first point scored, as MMA competitions usually do not score any individual points. Rather, it is the final round of the fight, the winner of which is declared the winner of the match. This particular rule, known as “Sudden Victory”, was often applied in previous seasons of the reality show Ultimate Fighter when the contest consisted of two rounds. The surprise round rule was also applied in the tournament to decide the Ultimate Fighting Championship, 1st Flyweight Champion. [13]
Professional wrestling
Sudden Wrestling Death is most commonly seen in Real Canadian Wrestling tournament matches where a winner is to be determined. This happens in the event of a double knockout or double count. In the United States, sudden death rules apply mainly in the Iron Man Match when there is a tie after the deadline. (Most notably at WrestleMania XII when the match between Sean Michaels and Bret Hart ended 0-0 after the 60-minute limit.)
An example involving sudden death occurred in Royal Rumble (2005). John Cena and Batista were abandoned, and both men’s feet touched the ground at the same time. A similar draw leading to sudden death can occur if the shoulders of the submission hold are resting on the mat.
Rugby League
Drawn National Rugby League premiership and State of Origin game series are subject to sudden death in extra time after 80 minutes of play, called the golden dot.Golden Point consists of two five-minute halves in which teams switch places at the end of the first half.
Any result (try, penalty or field goal) in the form of a gold point results in a win for the team scoring the ball – no conversion is performed if the attempt is successful.
In the NRL, the gold point winner receives two competition points, the loser none. In the event that no more points occur, the game ends in a draw and each team receives one point.
Rugby Union
In the rugby playoffs, primarily the Rugby World Cup, a match, a draw after 80 minutes, does not go straight to the conditions of sudden death. Two 10 minute extra time periods are played first, if the score clears after 100 minutes then the rules require one 10 minute sudden death period to be played. [14] If the Sudden Death Extra Period does not count, the Kicking Competition is used to determine the winner.
However, no match in the history of the Rugby World Cup has ever exceeded 100 minutes of extra time with sudden death.
Rugby Sevens
In the World Series of Rugby Sevens, a match that ends in a draw continues until several sudden deaths of 5 minutes each.
Tennis and volleyball
In contrast to the usual sudden death procedure, in which the victory is awarded to the next side by the score, tennis and volleyball require a win rate of two.The game of volleyball with a set target score continues until the score of one team exceeds the score of the other by two points.
The traditional requirement for a tennis set to be won in two games, sometimes resulting in five sets for men lasting more than six hours (including an 8 hour 11 minute set at Wimbledon) or, in women’s / doubles matches of three sets, lasting more than three hours, which is a serious violation of the TV program. To shorten matches, sets of six games each can now be split into one tie-break game (for US Open & Olympics, decisive set only).It is awarded to the first player to score seven points. The winner must be two points ahead of the loser, so the tie-break can be long on its own. [The exception applies to a super tie-break from 2019 in which whoever scores 10 points or two points in a row after 9 draws wins (Australian Open only), provided the deciding set is 6 – all; at Wimbledon it is used at 12 – all in the deciding set].
Tie-breaks are not used in the final set of the French Open. rugbybworldcup.com. Rugby World Cup. www.rugbyworldcup.com . Archived from the original on 2016-02-01. Retrieved on 2016-02-09.

[ Quote Required ] Bray is home to Ardmore Studios and has a small industry in the city and several business parks and shopping malls on the southern outskirts. Commuter services between Bray and Dublin are provided by rail, the Dublin Bus and the M11 and M50 motorways.
Etymology
Name Bray Anglicization of Irish Bré , the meaning of which is unclear. Liam Price suggested that it might be the old name of the Dargle River or its tributary.In 1875, PW Joyce mistakenly assigned the Irish name Brí , an old word for “hill,” in this case referring to Bray Head. In a 1905 Gaelic League publication promoting the use of Irish-language postal addresses, Seosam Laoid coined the name. Bree Kualann “Brí in Cualu” as part of his policy: “If the name of a city [in Irish] is a single word, the territory [of ancient Gaelic] in genitive must be added to it.” Brí and Brí C [h] ualann remained in use in the mid-20th century, despite being refuted by Price and Osborne Bergin. Bré was passed by law in 1975.
History
During the Middle Ages, Bray was located on the southern border of Settlement, and the coastal region was ruled directly by the English crown from Dublin Castle. Inland, the countryside was largely under the control of Gaelic chieftains such as the O’Toole and O’Byrne clans.Bray is depicted on the 1598 map of Abraham Ortelius’ Modern Representation of Ireland, One of the British Isles as “Bray.” Count Meath acquired the Killruddery estate in Bre in 1627 with the establishment of the title of count. During the 17th and 18th centuries, Bray was a small manor village, but in the second half of the 18th century, Dublin’s middle class began to move to Bray. [ citation needed ]
The Dublin and Kingstown Railroad, the first in Ireland, opened in 1834 and was extended to Bray in 1854.With the advent of the railway, the city turned into a seaside resort. Hotels and residential terraces have been built in the immediate vicinity of the embankment. Railroad entrepreneur William Dargan designed Moorish-style Turkish baths for £ 10,000; they were demolished in 1980. By the mid-20th century, the use of the city as a resort had fallen into disrepair as holidaymakers began to take advantage of the opportunity to travel abroad.
