målvikt

Måltrue is a Swedish term that translates to "ball weight" or "ball mass" in English. It refers to the weight of an ice hockey puck or a ball used in various sports and games. In the context of ice hockey, målvikt typically describes the weight of goal sieves or nets, which are designed to withstand the impact of high-speed pucks. However, it can also be used to describe the weight and mass of the pucks themselves.

In recent years, målvikt has become a popular topic of discussion in the ice hockey community, particularly with regards to the introduction of lighter and more aerodynamic pucks. Proponents of lighter pucks argue that they increase puck speed and reduce the risk of injury to goalkeepers. However, others argue that lighter pucks can be more difficult to control and may lead to an increase in penalty calls.

The målvikt standard is currently set by the Ice Hockey World Federation (IIHF), which dictates that ice hockey pucks must weigh between 295 and 305 grams. However, different leagues and tournaments may use different målvikt standards. For example, the National Hockey League (NHL) uses pucks that weigh between 295 and 297 grams.

Overall, målvikt is an important consideration for ice hockey players, coaches, and officials. Understanding the weight and mass of pucks and goal sieves can help to ensure a safe and fair playing experience.
