net minder
Puck-stopping athlete
A net minder is a goalkeeper in ice hockey or lacrosse—the player who guards the net and tries to prevent the opposing team from scoring.
The term is sometimes written as one word, netminder.
Their net minder made thirty-two saves in the shutout.
The position demands quick reflexes and the ability to track fast-moving pucks or balls through traffic.
