HOCKEY SHOT TIP OF THE MONTH
Players like Auston Matthews and Phil Kessel don't just wake
up and snipe from impossible angles; they practice those sit-
uations constantly. There is no better way to do this than with
visualization + situational drills.
Start with what you're comfortable with (strong side), and then
move on to more challenging angles (right-handed shooters
choose left corners and vice versa). When you move to the
opposite/ weak side, it gets tougher. One easy tip that
helps with the flow and accuracy of the shot is to toe the
puck (control with the toe of your stick) and squaring
your blade before the release. Dragging the puck closer
to you adds precision and allows you to look at the target
before a quick release. Increasing the speed of your release
on the second round of shots is recommended. Putting more zip
on the squared-release shot will help with hitting your target, but
master one thing at a time.
