Like the wrist shot, it is very important to
generate speed of the stick blade.
Remember that
form and accuracy come before attempting quicker
shots. See below for guidelines
described by USA Hockey.
-
Hands held
approximately 12 to 15 inches apart.
-
Shot
begins with the puck at the side of the body and
behind the back foot.
-
The blade
of the stick is to be cupped over the puck.
-
Transfer
weight from back skate to front skate as you
shoot.
-
Start with
puck in the middle of the stick blade while
moving it to the toe during shot.
-
Follow-through with a straight blade or closed
blade.

The puck
should
rest in the center
of the stick blade .
Fig. 2
Dip your
front
shoulder so the blade
cups the puck.
Fig. 3
A high follow
through will make
the puck rise.
