A new goalie may be designated if an injury has occurred or the goalie is pulled at the end of the period. This player is required to wear the protective equipment provided by the Intramural Sports Program. The goalie is the only player who may enter the crease. The goalie may use any means possible to stop the ball with their body, glove, or stick. However, the goalie may not throw their equipment to stop the ball.
Goalies can leave their feet to play a ball, as long as they are touching some part of the crease.
The goalie may leave the crease area at anytime, however, once out of the goal area, they must follow all rules that apply to court players. The goalie can not cross mid-court while in their goalie equipment. If the goalie is pulled for an extra player, the team relinquishes all of its goalie rights. Defensive players may enter the crease to deflect a ball, but the players may not freeze the ball. Violation of the rule results in a minor violation or a minor penalty.
