Hockey Goal

Meaning, which is tougher to score a hockey goal or a soccer goal?

I have played Soccer for about 12 years now, that includes, High School Varsity, and College ball. On my free time i play Hockey as well.

There are a Lot of factors in a question like this
- Are we talking one on one Break away ? If not, you can usually have up to 5-6 teammates crashing the net in soccer. Hockey .. not so much, crashing the net your looking at about 3 forwards.

Goalie Wise - In my opinion a Hockey Goal is a little harder to score on because of the size of the goalie and all the equipment in a slightly bigger net. In soccer you can Chip the Goalie, curve left - right. All depends on the goalies Position.

From a Goalies Perspective, i see being a Goalie in Soccer much more difficult. I'm not saying being a goalie in hockey is easy, i'm sure its very hard as well. But in soccer, there is a much bigger distance to cover, as a Goalie you must know when you come out, at what angle, when to dive.

In my opinion, its just as Hard to Score on Either goal. Maybe a little Easier to score on a soccer goal because of the Goalie Size - Goal Size ratio.

The Weirdest Hockey Goal I ever saw was when Marty McSorley was Playing for the L.A. Kings (this is when they still played at the Forum) and he went to clear the Puck it hit off the glass and Golie thought it was going behind and Waited for it, intsted it went in Talk about Empty Netter.

I think this Ovechkin goal was-
