goalie equipment

Netminder's protective gear

Goalie equipment is the specialized protective gear worn by goalkeepers in hockey, lacrosse, and similar sports.

The term encompasses leg pads, chest protectors, blockers, catching gloves, and masks designed to absorb high-velocity impacts: He spent two thousand dollars on new goalie equipment.

The gear is notably bulkier than what other players wear.
