Hockey Jargons - What Is New

By Sumit Bhatnagar

Hockey jargons are very popular today. This game is so popular that these jargons have become a part and parcel of day to day life in our society. Here, we present some of the very common jargons used by the hockey players as well as by the hockey fans.

'Lunch Pail Gang' are the group of players or an individual in a team who always work so hard and give their best shot to help the team. The thing to be noticed here is, that these guys sometimes, do not get the appreciation they deserve. But team members are always positive and appreciate them anyways.

Modern snipers in this game are termed as 'slap shot'. These snipers are real good but now a days, they get more flexible sticks and it is really dangerous for them to work with these.

‘Stand on his head’, a very interesting phrase in fashion is used by commentators very frequently. This is often used in case of rebound shots when the goaltender tries to save them and the position of head is near the pad.

'Playoff Beard' is a superstition that most of the players believe in. Usually, when some people get a change in performance or life, they start growing a beard. Likewise, the team players also keep a playoff beard until their team wins or makes a notable change required in the performance.

When a player makes three consecutive goals, it is referred to as a ‘Hat trick’. Usually, the players are given hats when they make a hat trick.

In USA, the players are given night in and out for their magnificent performance in NHL. It is followed as a ritual now. When the game is over , three Stars are declared and each player comes and slides on the ice by skating on it. These were some of the common jargons in vogue.
