  • Hybrid style

  • Butterfly style

  • Scorpion style

Answer

Patrick Roy is credited with popularizing the butterfly style of goaltending. This style involves the goaltender spreading his legs wide and lowering his body to the ice, covering as much of the goal as possible. It is a more aggressive style of goaltending than the traditional stand-up style, and it requires a great deal of flexibility and athleticism.
