Ice Queen

Definition

In hockey slang, a player who skates with an unusually graceful, almost figure-skating style—the implication being they're too finesse-focused rather than gritty and aggressive.

Example Usage

Marco's got great speed, but the other players call him an ice queen because he won't throw a body check.
