Pest (ice Hockey)
In ice hockey, a pest is a player who attempts to antagonize opponents either by physical play or verbal incitement. Pests employ legal, illegal, or borderline tactics to accomplish their goals. Some common tactics include chirping or slashing and hooking while referees are not looking. They may employ the tactic of goading opponents into a fight but then backing off in order to draw a penalty against them. Some pests may not only use these tactics against opposing skaters, but opposing goaltenders as well. Pest and agitator are sometimes used synonymously, as both are usually characterized by short bursts of intensity and speed with the intention of creating havoc. The term has been used derogatorily to refer to a player who incites anger in the opposition but is unwilling to directly suffer the consequences of their actions by engaging in fighting, as would an enforcer.
