Goaltender

See also: NHL Goalies who have scored in a game. Perhaps the smallest hemispherical engine, the 4G12, a 1.2 L engine, was used in European and Middle Eastern Pony cars and pickups. Chris Osgood and Jose Theodore have also scored goals in the NHL. They are I4, crossflow aluminum head, chaindriven 8 valve SOHC units. Billy Smith (the first goalie to be credited with a goal), Mika Noronen and Damian Rhodes all scored without actually shooting the puck; they were credited with goals because they were the last people on their respective teams to touch the puck. The largest being the 4G16 makes 101 hp (75 kW) @6000 rpm and 110 ft·lbf (149 N·m) @ 4000 rpm. Evgeni Nabokov was the first goalie to score a powerplay goal, doing so for the San Jose Sharks in 2002. The "hemi" was used in other Chrysler cars (presumably in early model Dodge Lancers) as well as several mitsubishi vehicles.

Ron Hextall and Martin Brodeur have both accomplished this twice. In 1974, 4G14 (1,436 cc, 89.8 in³) unit (indeed, its entire driveline) was used by Hyundai Motor Company to power the Pony, until 1983 when the 4G16 (1,597 cc, roughly 99 in³) was used in the Stellar, and in 1985 on the PonyII. A goalie scoring a goal in an NHL game is a very rare feat. The spark plugs were not in the centre of the dome, but slightly off to the exhaust side. Since no goalie is protecting the empty goal net, it is easier for the opposing team to score an empty net goal. Its displacement was very small, a 1.3 liter motor. Also, during the last minute or so of a game, if a team is likely to lose anyway because they are a goal behind the other team and the puck and playing action are on the other team's side of the ice rink, the coach may decide to have the goalie leave the rink to be substituted by an attacking player to increase the team's chance of scoring a goal to tie the game. Beginning production circa 1969 was the 4G13, a prototype engine used in the first Mitsubishi Lancer.

However, if the empty net team puts the puck in their own goal net by mistake, the goal still counts against them. The classic Hemi engines of the 1960s featured true hemispherical heads, and splayed (perpendicular) valves. If the opposing team commits a penalty while the goalie's team has control of the puck, the goalie may leave to be substituted because as soon as the penalized team gets control of the puck, play is stopped before they can score a goal. some notable engines designed and used by Porsche in both customer production car and Race cars:. A team temporarily playing with no goalie is said to be playing with an empty net. The basic design did not change much until 1996, when Porsche moved to water cooling. However, there are a couple of situations when a goalie may leave the ice rink to be substituted by an attacking player to increase his team's chance of scoring a goal. When Porsche introduced the 911, it had a 2.0 L flat-6 engine, with hemispherical heads.

Normally, the goalie plays in or near the goal crease the whole game. Also, at the 2005 SEMA show, Chrysler unvieled a 505-horsepower 6.4L HEMI which will be available as a crate engine and might find its way into production, perhaps with reduced horsepower. Goalies skate around the ice rink much less during play than other players and are substituted far less frequently in a game; often, a goalie plays out the entire game. Some versions of the 5.7L, including most 2006 production units, utilise a variable displacement technology called the Multi-Displacement System (MDS) to improve fuel economy. When he does get a penalty, the coach is allowed to select another player, who was on the ice at the time of the infraction, to sit in the penalty box for him, unless the goalie has been penalized for fighting. It is available in two sizes; 5.7 and 6.1 liters. A goalie can get a penalty like any other player, but the goalie tends to have less bodily contact with players from the opposing team and therefore rarely gets a penalty. This engine replaced Chrysler's large LA family of engines, particularly the Magnum 5.9, in the early 2000s.

This engine is not a true hemispherical head engine; it has a polyspherical combustion chamber, but retains the Hemi's traditional inline perpendicular valves. If too many opposing players are nearby, the goalie may decide to hold the puck (longer than about a second) to stop play. Chrysler introduced a modern Hemi in 2002. Goalies often catch a shot if they can to better control how it re-enters play. Hemi.com provides information on three eras of Hemi power: 1951 to 1959, 1964 to 1971 and 2002 to current. After making a save, controlling the rebounding puck is desirable to avoid a goal scored on a shot from the rebound, or simply allowing the goalie's own team to get control of the puck. Racers like "Big Daddy" Don Garlits have set many world records using Hemi power.

Goalies often makes saves anyway they can: catching the puck with their glove hand, deflecting the shot with their stick, blocking it with their leg pads or blocker or another part of their body, falling on their knees or even prone on the ice to block any low shot that may come, especially up close. The Hemi head design is so efficient and effective that it was, and is, a top performer in NHRA, IHRA, UDRA and other sanctioned drag racing events throughout the world. When a goalie blocks or otherwise stops a shot from going into his goal net, that action is called a save. Hemi blocks were traditionally painted orange to distinguish them from other V8s. In some leagues, if a goalie's stick breaks, he can continue playing with a broken stick until the play is stopped, unlike other players who must drop their broken stick immediately. It was available in most Mopar muscle cars and pony cars of the period, although its high price and limited street tractability kept sales fairly low. If a player from the other team hits him without making an attempt to get out of his way, the offending player is penalized. The engine was available through 1971, and the DaimlerChrysler corporation still sells crate engines and parts.

He may legally hold the puck with his hands to cause a stoppage of play. It was based on the Chrysler RB engine big-block. He wears special goaltending equipment that is not subject to the same regulations. In 1964, Chrysler introduced a new 426 in³ (7.0 L) Hemi, designed to win at NASCAR racing and sold to the public to meet homologation requirements and to enable the public to buy the winning engine. The goaltender has special privileges that other players do not. This design, the Chrysler FirePower engine, was used until 1959. A typical ice hockey team may have two or three goaltenders. Experience with this engine led to Chrysler using the Hemi design for their first overhead valve V8 in 1951.

Goaltender is typically a specialized position in ice hockey; at higher levels in the game, no goalies play other positions and no players play goalie. Chrysler's first experience with the Hemi design was during World War 2, in which it developed an experimental 2500 hp (1864 kW) V16 engine for the P-47 Thunderbolt. . . No more than one player on each hockey team plays as goalie at any one time in a game. Other manufacturers used the hemispherical design before World War II, including Daimler and Riley. Due to the power and frequency of shots, the goaltender wears special equipment designed to protect the body from direct impact. Jaguar used this head design as well on the legendary XK engines, which powered cars ranging from the Le Mans winning D-Type to the XJ6 sedan.

He usually plays in or near the area in front of the net called the goal crease (or often just crease). Porsche has also been a notable user of the Hemi design, generating up to 86 hp per liter displacement on production cars (1973 2.4 L 911S), and even more on racing engines (906 Carrera engine). The goaltender, goalie, in ice hockey is a player who defends his team's goal net by stopping shots of the puck from entering the net to prevent the opposing team from scoring. Chrysler has used the word "Hemi" extensively in its advertising, to the extent that the word is indelibly associated with Chrysler in North America. Georges Vezina. Perhaps the best-known proponent of the Hemi design has been the Chrysler Corporation, who have produced three generations of such engines: the first (the Chrysler FirePower engine) in the 1950s; the second (the 426 Hemi) from the mid 1960s through the mid 1970s; and finally in the early 2000s. Vladislav Tretiak. Most applications have been in higher-priced luxury or sporting vehicles, because the hemi design is more expensive to build.

Tommy Salo. Hemispherical cylinder heads have been used in some engines since they were first used by the Belgian car maker Pipe in 1905. Terry Sawchuk. Placing the intake on the opposite side of the engine also reduces the air intake temperature and increases efficiency. Patrick Roy. The hemispherical cylinder head increases the engine's efficiency through reduced thermal energy loss and increased airflow through the engine, but drawbacks such as increased production cost has meant that it has been a rare design. Mike Richter. These aspects help make the hemi-type engine more efficient and powerful, and less prone to engine knock.

Manon Rheaume. The spark plug in the center of the chamber makes for better ignition of the fuel/air mixture. Jacques Plante. The hemispherical combustion chamber design puts the intake/exhaust valves in-line, rather than side-by-side, allowing for better flow of air through the head (although the inlet and exhaust valves are not simultaneously open and there is no continuous flow). Bernie Parent. Chrysler's main innovation was to build them in such large numbers. Olaf Kolzig. Stutz had built four valve engines, resembling modern car engines.

Miikka Kiprusoff. Harry Arminius Miller racing engines were more notable example. Nikolai Khabibulin. The BMW double push rod design, taken over by Bristol Cars, and the Peugeot 403 are other well known examples. Ron Hextall. The term, "Hemi engine", is a trademark of Chrysler Corporation, though the concept is used by many manufacturers. Dominik Hasek. Hemi (from "hemisphere") or "crossflow cylinder head" is a design of internal-combustion engines in which the cylinder head's combustion chamber is of hemispherical form.

Ed Belfour. The Roger Crozier Saving Grace Award is awarded each year by the NHL to the goaltender with the best save percentage during the regular season. Jennings Trophy is awarded each year by the NHL to the goaltender from the team that allowed the fewest goals during the regular season. The William M.

The Vezina Trophy is awarded each year by the NHL to the league's most outstanding goaltender as determined by the general managers of the teams.
