What is a hose-head/hoser used for in hockey?

What is meant by a hose-head/hoser in ice hockey?

Hoser or hose-head is both a slang term and a derogatory term, originating from Canada and used primarily by those imitating Canadians. It is used often by Canadians, but it is sometimes used as typical Canadian slang by Americans.

The term “hoser”, long used by certains groups of Canadians, mostly males, gained popularity, or at least notoriety, from the comedic skits by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas (playing the characters of Bob and Doug McKenzie) in SCTV’s “The Great White North” segments. The characters also used the verb ‘to hose’ as a synonym for ‘to swindle’.
