The wrist shot, also known as the sweep shot, should be the most accurate shot. When practicing the wrist shot, follow the following guidelines as described by USA Hockey.

• Hands proper length apart on the stick. (One forearm length).
• Shot begins with the puck at the side of the body and behind the back foot.
• Cup the puck with blade of stick.
• Weight transfer as you shoot from back leg to front leg.
• Follow through will dictate the height and accuracy of shot. (Finish with blade pointing to your target).
• Puck starts at the middle of the blade and moves to the toe as you sweep.
