The goaltender's restricted area marks where a goaltender is legally allowed to handle the puck behind the net. This is often referred to as "the trapezoid" as it is trapezoidal in shape. Its line thickness should be given by 'minor_line_thickness' as this is a minor line on the ice surface

)A data frame containing the bounding coordinates of the goaltender's restricted area
The length of the rink
The thickness of the lines used to draw the goaltender's restricted area
The width of the base nearest the center line
The width of the base nearest the boards behind the goal
the x coordinate used as the anchor point of the goal

NOTE: This is not a requirement in all leagues, and may be omitted via the
"has_trapezoid" key in the rink_params passed to geom_{league}
This draws the goaltender's restricted area on the right side (in TV view) of the ice surface. The figure is composed of lines that outline a trapezoid in shape, and is usually red in color
