Back Check

A term in beer league hockey that can be deemed a myth. It is usually not comprehended by most players who score goals.

Goalie: Johnny doesn’t back check at all.

Defense: well he does score 4 goals a game so he’s kinda off the hook.

Goalie: well I guess I can’t let in 4 goals on 5 shots.

Forwards and Defense in unison: yeah that would be ideal
