Also goalies are devious creatures, they'd find a way to cover up the sensor with snow. Or their skates/pads would keep cutting across the sensor.
You wouldn't even need to put the sensors in range of the goalie. You could project an infrared grid over the mouth of the goal from the rafters so no one could interfere with it. This is effectively the same technology behind the Nintendo Wii controllers that detect where the controller is positioned in 3D space. Only this could be made to be incredibly accurate.
