Four Basic Shots
Snap shot, shovel, wrist shot, and slap shot
Snap shot |
Shovel |
Wrist shot
More of a finesse shot, players shoot when the puck is directly against the blade of the stick with a flick motion of the wrist.
|
Slap shot
The slap shot is the fastest of all hockey shots. Players make a sweeping motion with an accentuated backswing to shoot the puck.
