In ice hockey, goalkeepers are more commonly referred to as "goaltenders" or simply "goalies". They brought 15 forwards, nine defencemen and three goaltenders. Each team's roster was limited to twenty skaters (forwards and defencemen) and three goaltenders. The term "skaters" is typically used to describe all players who are not goaltenders. Historically, starting NHL goaltenders wore number 1. During the playoffs, head coach Roger Neilson employed a rotation system between the two goaltenders. His 484 wins rank fourth all-time among NHL goaltenders. From that point on Cheevers became one of hockey's best goaltenders. Broda was starting to emerge as one of the league's top goaltenders. NHL rules restrict the total number of players per game to 18, plus two goaltenders. The team relied on four other goaltenders while their starter was injured. All modern NHL goaltenders generally use some form of this style. The NHL requires each team have a list of "emergency" goaltenders. These are the top-ten goaltenders in franchise history by regular season wins. Such sticks gave a comparative advantage to shooters versus goaltenders.
