This word is used almost exclusively in a sports context. It is typical for sports with goals, such as soccer, handball, ice hockey, or water polo.

A Torschütze is the person who scored a particular goal. A Torjäger, by contrast, is known for scoring many goals and for consistent accuracy. After a single goal, the player is called a Torschütze; when a player has consistently scored a large number of goals, Torjäger is more appropriate.
