K, this is Wikipedia, not the Junior Hockey Bible, so I've removed the following:
Let's leave the esoteric terms out, please. 209.196.230.72 (talk) 06:43, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for removing some of the offensive and ridiculous terms in this article. It's about time someone did. There are a few terms, however, that are legitimate hockey terminology used regularly by coaches and commentators that you removed, such as "floater" and "starfish" (although the definition of starfish was written poorly). 'Starfish' is commonly used to refer to the actions and positions taken up by a goalie.
Referring to Mario Lemieux, Don Cherry called him "the league's biggest floater before his first all-star game answered back by becoming the game's MVP." http://66.49.167.195/sports/revolutionaries.htm This is also mentioned in another Wikipedia article: 37th National Hockey League All-Star Game. Plus, if you google hockey+floater you will find many references using this term. Coaches will actually assign a player to 'be a floater' for certain cherry-picking opportunities. This term should be re-included.
Also, the term 'pick' should be included. I have noted it's absence, but can not think of a pithy way to describe this dirty play. Canadian Girl Scout (talk) 08:56, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
When a penalty is called, the referee will raise his or her arm to indicate that one is being called, but if the team who committed the infraction is not in control of the puck, no whistle will be blown until a player from the offending team controls the puck.

Sounds good to me chum Mynamismik (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:18, 11 November 2010 (UTC).
Should we start a list of terms to be added? As per above, here are some suggestions so far:
Feel free to add more if you note that they are not yet in the article, but are too tired or unwilling to write a definition for them. Canadian Girl Scout (talk) 01:55, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
How annoying! The purpose of this list was to demystify the terms commonly HEARD when folks talk about and refer to hockey. If you are a newcomer to the sport and you sit down to watch a game on CBC and hear the announcers, players and coaches talking about a 'greasy goal', but it's not in the rule book, then how are you supposed to guess what it is that they're talking about? This article was not suppose to replace a rule book that you can just go out and buy a copy of. It was to assist in clarifying for newbies, some of the commonly heard slang from the sport. I agree with removing the offensive and derogatory terms, but there are genuine and helpful hockey terms that have been removed from here. BLAH!

I was hoping it would include as many vernacular or colloquial expressions as possible. I was looking for a definition of the verb "to pinch" in an ice hockey context. Ab.chaplin (talk) 14:05, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
It's used 3 times in the definitions but not defined itself. 74.104.53.36 (talk) 21:53, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
