WCYHA 5000 Puck Club - Wrist Shot
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.
