A KK member passed this along to me and even though about a week old, a pretty good read...
from Jame McKinven of Cross Ice Hockey,
Nicknames aside, hockey is full of strange pseudonyms and slang that can make for a pretty confusing conversation to an outsider. Below is a list of words and definitions that are often heard in the hockey world:
Bagger Short for “bag skate.” Used to describe when a coach punishes a team by making them skate hard; sometimes used simply to better condition a team.
Band-Aid A player who is always hurt or injured.
Cheese The upper part of the net (“Going cheese on the goalie”).
Chisel When a player purposely steals a point from a teammate by going up to the referee and stating that he got an assist on a goal when he in fact didn’t earn one. A player who gloms points this way is called a “Chiseler.”
