2. The measurement of a goaltender’s pads may be requested only during the first or second intermission or after the third period of a game that goes into overtime.

3. With the exception of skates and stick, equipment worn by the goaltender must be constructed solely for the purpose of protecting the head and body and must not include any garment or addition which gives the goaltender undue assistance in tending goal or "making himself bigger".

4. Abdominal aprons, extending down the front of the thighs on the outside of the pants, are prohibited.

5. Graffiti-type designs, patterns, artwork, drawings, or slogans which are abusive or obscene and refer to culture, race, or religion are not allowed on any equipment.

If these personal accessories are difficult to remove, the goaltender should tape them or put them safely under his game jersey in such way that they are no longer dangerous. In this case, the goaltender will be required to leave the ice during this process, and a warning will be issued to his team.
