Stick fault
Stock error is a term used in sport, especially hockey or ice hockey.
In ice hockey , the term describes a stick that is too high and therefore dangerous.
In hockey, stick failure refers to lifting the stick above shoulder height before and after the stroke, as well as hitting and stopping the ball with the rounded side of the hockey stick . That is why this type of rule violation is also simply referred to as "round page" in common parlance. A stick fault is usually punished with a free hit for the opposing team. Stick errors within the own shooting circle are punished with a penalty corner . Both the forbidden Argentine forehand and an incorrectly executed Argentine backhand count as stick faults .
Soccer
In a broader sense, the term stick fault is used in other ball sports. This means a frivolous mistake like the unsuccessful stopping or jumping away of the ball. This term is particularly popular with football commentators. When and under what circumstances it was carried over from hockey to other sports is unclear. This probably first happened during an ice hockey World Cup, where this term was often used, with a rather humorous intention instead of the term “stopping error” (mistake in receiving the ball) for football. The word was later used without the humorous undertone.
