He plays in the area in front of thenet called the goal crease. Due to the power and frequency of shots, the goaltender wears special equipment designed toprotect the body from direct impact.

2) " Equipment" -- As it applies to Itech Goalie Equipment This page discusses common devices known as "tools", for other meanings see Tool (disambiguation) Modern hammer A tool is, among other things, a device that provides a mechanical or mental advantage in accomplishing a task. Mosttools employ some form of simple machine, or a combination of them. Forexample, a hammer simply functions as a lever with the fulcrum (pivot point) being the hand of the user. The further out from the pivot point, the more force istransmitted along the lever. A sword combines a lever and a wedge. Philosophers once thought that only humans used tools, and often defined humans astool-using animals. But observation has confirmed that chimpanzees and other animals, mostly primates, but also some birds ( ravens, for instance) can use tools as well.Most anthropologists believe that the use of tools itself intertwined withthe opposable thumb (useful to hold the tools) and an increase inintelligence (aiding in the use of tools) in spurring along the evolutionof humankind.Most tools can also serve as weapons, such as the hammer and the knife. Similarly, people can use weapons, such as explosives, as tools.
