GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:
Clean open-ice hit
French translation:
bonne mise en échec au centre de la patinoire (ou de la glace)
Explanation: Or "mise en échec légale au centre de la patinoire (glace)".
In hockey, there's a lot of physical contact between players, which is called "body checks" or "hits" (nothing to do with "slap shots", which is when the player hits the puck with his stick).
There are essentially two types of body checks: 1) near the boards, where one player pushes another into the board surrounding the rink, and 2) open-ice, which is basically anywhere else on the ice, when one player hits another away from the boards.
Those hits can be further divided into 1) "clean hits", which are thrown with the shoulder or hip and are legal, and 2) "illegal hits", when a player uses his elbow, knee, stick to hit another player and receives a penalty as a result.
So a "clean open-ice hit" is a legal body check thrown away from the boards with the shoulder or hip. If you google "clean open-ice hit" (with quotation marks) with "video", you'll see examples of what it is.
You can also check out the Hockey Canada website, which is bilingual. And please make sure to check Canadian websites, this is where hockey is played.
"What couch-only hockey fans don't understand is that Shots on Goal require the work to find open ice, and if not, working to open that shooting lane. For NHL calibre defensemen, those shooting lines will always be closed unless you make a play, and that open ice gets more scarce the closer you get to the net." - post by "Noir"
"clean hit" probably means a hard non-deflected shot.
Approximately 75% of all hits occur within 10 feet of the net or the boards, while less than 5% happen in "open-ice." After the jump, the league leaders in open-ice hits...
