When you shoot, rotate your hips and upper body and follow through with the shot, pointing the stick in the direction you want the puck to go. This shot is for more advanced shooters. Position your body parallel to the target, and position the puck near your front skate. When you shoot, your blade should strike the ice 1 to 2 inches behind the puck. Contact with the puck should be made with the middle to the heel of the stick blade.
Pressure is exerted downward on the ice as contact is made with the puck.
The front shoulder moves in and down on contact. Remember that the follow through is low and towards the target. Your weight should shift to the front, keep eyes on the puck, and then make contact with it and follow through. Snap Shot Bring the blade of the stick back 6 - 8 inches behind the puck, and then snap through the puck towards the target. Strike the ice between 1 and 2 inches behind the puck.
