Screen (ice hockey)

Screen (ice hockey)

In ice hockey, a screen is when a player is obstructing the goaltender's view of the puck. The word can also be used as a verb, commonly "don't "screen" the goaltender", or "the goalie was "screened". Screens can be both planned, as when an attacking forward positions himself in front of the net, or accidental, like when a defensemen accidentally blocks the goalie's view. Attacking players may attempt to take advantage of a screen by taking a Shot (ice hockey)

Tomas Holmström, Darcy Tucker, and Ryan Smyth are known for screening goalies.
