title: The basic stance of age-group ice hockey goalkeepers.
abstract: Over 300 goalkeepers from the seven age-groups were sampled as part of a larger age-group normative survey. The photographic evidence delineates three basic goalkeeping stances in the younger age-groups. For a variety of reasons, one of the stances becomes dominant to all others and appears to be the one used by NHL, WHA and world international championship goal tenders.
