A goal awards one point to the team attacking the goal scored upon, regardless of which team the player who actually deflected the puck into the goal belongs to (see also <a href="/wiki/Own_goal" title="Own goal">own goal</a>). Typically, a player on the team attempting to score shoots the puck with their <a href="/wiki/Hockey_stick" title="Hockey stick">stick</a> towards the goal net opening, and a player on the opposing team called a <a href="/wiki/Goaltender" title="Goaltender">goaltender</a> tries to block the shot to prevent a goal from being scored against their team. </p><p>The term goal may also refer to the structure in which goals are scored. The ice hockey goal is rectangular in shape; the front frame of the goal is made of steel tube painted red and consists of two vertical goalposts and a horizontal crossbar. A net is attached to the back of the frame to catch pucks that enter the goal and also to prevent pucks from entering it from behind. The entire goal is considered an inbounds area of the playing surface, and it is legal to play the puck behind the goal. Under <a href="/wiki/National_Hockey_League" title="National Hockey League">NHL</a> rules, the opening of the goal is 72 inches (180 cm) wide by 48 inches (120 cm) tall, and the footprint of the goal is 40 inches (100 cm) deep.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Method_of_scoring">Method of scoring</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Goal_(ice_hockey)&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Method of scoring"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Ice_Hockey_2-on-1_One-Timer.gif" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/Ice_Hockey_2-on-1_One-Timer.gif/349px-Ice_Hockey_2-on-1_One-Timer.gif" decoding="async" width="349" height="279" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/Ice_Hockey_2-on-1_One-Timer.gif/524px-Ice_Hockey_2-on-1_One-Timer.gif 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/98/Ice_Hockey_2-on-1_One-Timer.gif 2x" data-file-width="590" data-file-height="472" /></a><figcaption>In this diagram, the blue player on the right would be credited with an assist, while the blue player on the left would score the goal.</figcaption></figure> <p>The object of the game of ice hockey is to score more goals than the opposing team. <a href="/wiki/Goaltender" title="Goaltender">Goaltenders</a> and <a href="/wiki/Defenceman_(ice_hockey)" class="mw-redirect" title="Defenceman (ice hockey)">defencemen</a> are concerned primarily with keeping the other team from scoring a goal, while <a href="/wiki/Forward_(hockey)" class="mw-redirect" title="Forward (hockey)">forwards</a> are primarily concerned with scoring goals on the other team. Forwards also have to be defensively responsible while defencemen need to press offensively, and it is not unknown for goalies to attempt to position the puck for a counterattack, or even attempt to shoot against an unguarded net. </p><p>For a goal to be scored, the puck normally must entirely cross the goal line between the posts and under the crossbar of the goal frame.

Each year the <a href="/wiki/Rocket_Richard_Trophy" class="mw-redirect" title="Rocket Richard Trophy">Rocket Richard Trophy</a> is presented to the NHL player to have scored the most goals. The trophy is named after <a href="/wiki/Maurice_Richard" title="Maurice Richard">Maurice Richard</a>, the first player to score 50 goals in a season, at a time when the NHL regular season was only 50 games (compared to 82 today).

In recent years, goal scoring has decreased. Many believe the game is less entertaining because of this, and blame the change on the increasing size of <a href="/wiki/Goaltender#Goaltending_equipment" title="Goaltender">goaltending equipment</a> and the advent of defensive systems such as the <a href="/wiki/Neutral_zone_trap" title="Neutral zone trap">neutral zone trap</a>. Fans of defensive hockey counter by saying the high scoring of the 1980s was an anomaly, and this shift represents a return to the norm. For the 2004-05 <a href="/wiki/American_Hockey_League" title="American Hockey League">American Hockey League</a> season, four major rule changes were made that were intended to increase the scoring in games and make it more popular among casual fans: </p> <ol><li>increasing the size of the attack zones by narrowing the neutral zone two feet each side and thus moving the goal line back two feet</li> <li>restrictions on the goaltender playing the puck</li> <li>permitting offside players to negate the penalty by "tagging up" with the blue line</li> <li>changing the offside rule by permitting passes
