A typical ice hockey team has two or three goaltenders on its roster. Most teams typically have a starting goaltender who plays the majority of the regular season games and all of the playoffs, with the [[#Back-up_goaltender|backup goaltender]] only stepping in if the starter is pulled or injured, or in cases where the schedule is too heavy for one goaltender to play every game.
Professional hockey leagues at all levels require each team have a list of "emergency" goaltenders. The list provides goaltender options for both the home and visiting teams. These goaltenders are to be called to a game if a team does not have two goaltenders to start the game, most often in the [[ECHL]] where a goaltender can be called up to the [[American Hockey League]] (AHL) that afternoon and the team is unable to sign a backup or the scheduled backup is unable to make the game on time after a callup. An "emergency" goaltender may also be called if both roster goaltenders are injured in the same game.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nhl/2017/01/06/emergency-goalie-the-most-unique-one-day-job-in-sports/96265280/|title=Emergency goalie: The most unusual 1-day job in sports|newspaper=USA Today|access-date=March 30, 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180330212607/https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nhl/2017/01/06/emergency-goalie-the-most-unique-one-day-job-in-sports/96265280/|archive-date=March 30, 2018|df=mdy-all}}</ref>
