Free Spot? Do you mean the goal crease?

Gordie Howe hat- trick
Are you talking about hockey??? Because if you are then it's "Chelsea Dagger"
A direct free kick awarded from 12 yards in front of the goal would be within the penalty area. It would have to be a kick awarded to the defense, because if a defender had committed a direct free kick offense at that location the restart would, instead, have been a penalty kick for the attackers.
gordy howe hat-trick (i think)

chelsea dagger (the goal song of the chicago blackhawks)
Joe Hockey's birth name is Joseph Benedict Hockey.
hockey is to cool to have a scientific name
If you are talking about when you score a goal it's just called a goal If you are talking about the keeper who blocks the net it's called a goalie or a goaltender If you are talking about where you are supposed to put the puck/shoot/defend it's called a net
Shankar Laxman was the goal keeper on both occasions.
It is called a goal crease because like many other sports it is where the goaltender stands. It has a special name because there are certain rules that apply to that area Thanks Matt, I understand. My question is why specifically a "Crease" as opposed to something else. It is an area in front of the net specifically for the Goaltender and others can only enter under specific circumstances. The question why "Crease"?
