Goalkeeper’s Crosse
SECTION 16. The crosse shall be constructed of wood, plastic, fiberglass, nylon, leather, rubber, gut, and/or any other synthetic material. The handle of the crosse shall be straight and may be constructed of wood, metal alloy or other composite material. Recessed screws must be used to attach the head of a plastic/ molded head goalkeeper’s crosse to the handle. The end of all handles shall have an end cap, be taped or be sanded smooth, if wood. The crosse shall not have sharp or protruding parts or edges and shall not be dangerous to players in any way.
SECTION 17. The overall length of the crosse shall be 90 cm minimum to 135 cm maximum. The end cap is included when measuring the overall length of the crosse.
SECTION 18. The unstrung head and the handle of a goalkeeper’s crosse shall lie within a 7.6cm horizontal plane. a. No part of the head shall pass beyond a plane 2.5cm above the centerline of the handle and/or 5.1cm below the centerline of the handle. b. The top edge of the sidewall shall not be more than 0.6cm below the centerline of the handle.
SECTION 19. The head shall have a maximum length of 42cm. The length of the head is measured from the center of the bridge or ball stop (where the top back edge of 96 - the stop pad meets the plastic) to the top outside edge of the scoop. With the open pocket of the head facing up, all length measurements are taken along the centerline of the handle.
SECTION 20. The pocket of the crosse may be strung with 6 or 7 longitudinal leather or synthetic thongs and cross-lacing or may be mesh. The depth of the pocket may be unlimited except that the ball must move freely within all parts of the head and the pocket, both laterally and along its full length.
SECTION 21. The goalkeeper’s crosse may have more than two shooting strings. Flat laces or nylon cord may be used as shooting strings. There are no restrictions regarding the design or placement of shooting strings in the pocket of a goalkeeper’s crosse.
