A hockey team will get about 30 to 40 shots on net in a game. This means the average player will only get between 2 to 5 shots on net. Therefore, every shot should be a good one.
Good goalies watch the puck carefully and set up to take each shot.
If you shoot quickly before the goalie gets set, your chance of scoring improves immeasurably. A quick shot is one that comes quickly off a pass, a rebound, or a scramble in front of the net. This extra time is all a goalie needs to set up to make the save or have a defensive player block the shot. Even marginal shots should be made quickly. Shooting accurately needs to be developed by practice.
