1997 NHL Rulebook - Playing Rules
Rule 47. Charging
NOTE: If more than two steps or strides are taken, it shall be considered a charge. A goalkeeper is NOT " fair game"
just because he is outside the goal crease area. A penalty for interference or charging (minor or major) should be called
in every case where an opposing player makes unnecessary contact with a goalkeeper.
Likewise, Referees should be alert to penalize goalkeepers for tripping, slash-ing or spearing in the vicinity of the goal.
