Hockey Goaltender's Restricted Area (Trapezoid)

Description

The goaltender's restricted area marks where a goaltender is legally allowed to handle the puck behind the net. This is often referred to as "the trapezoid" as it is trapezoidal in shape. Its line thickness should be given by 'minor_line_thickness' as this is a minor line on the ice surface

Usage

hockey_goaltenders_restricted_area(
  rink_length = 0,
  feature_thickness = 0,
  short_base_width = 0,
  long_base_width = 0,
  x_anchor = 0
)

Arguments

rink_length	The length of the rink
feature_thickness	The thickness of the lines used to draw the goaltender's restricted area
short_base_width	The width of the base nearest the center line
long_base_width	The width of the base nearest the boards behind the goal
x_anchor	the x coordinate used as the anchor point of the goal line

Details

NOTE: This is not a requirement in all leagues, and may be omitted via the "has_trapezoid" key in the rink_params passed to geom_{league}

This draws the goaltender's restricted area on the right side (in TV view) of the ice surface. The figure is composed of lines that outline a trapezoid in shape, and is usually red in color

Value

A data frame containing the bounding coordinates of the goaltender's restricted area
