In hockey, a floater is a player who won't go into the corners to fight for the puck. Instead, he'll just circle around in the slot waiting for his hard-working teammates to set him up, where he'll inevitably score and take all the glory. The opposite of a floater is a grinder. This term was popularized by Don Cherry on his Coaches Corner segment on Hockey Night In Canada.
