Thanks for the lesson. I started off using the wooden stick and till I purchased the composite, I wrist shot went out of the window then this is when i've realised that I didn't use the correct techinique (and still need time to get use to the composite stick since they flex at a different point of the stick). Once again, thank you very much.
WOW!! Those tips were super, SUPER helpful!! Most tips out there just tell you the fundamentals but this video put in so much detail and now i fully understand the wrist shot. If theres a how to video that deserves 5 stars its this one.
A lot of good info but I disagree with not being able to derive power from your legs without squaring your body to the target If you are skating in on the net you should still be able to rifle a shot off, you can do this leaning into it, and also get power from your legs by pushing off with your back leg. Every player should practice shooting from every position because what good is only learning how to take a shot standing stationary, squared to the target? Practive shooting while moving
@howtohockeydotcom I can understand why you'd disagree, since you can still get a decent shot without squaring up, however, the biomechanics of it is not as good. The shot will be all upper body. If someone doesn't have the upper body strength their shot will suffer.
Think of it like throwing a ball when stepping into the throw vs throwing a ball with your feet firmly planted.
I agree with "practice shooting from every position", though I think they were talking about fundamentals.
@CWAthlete I find older players, even older NHL player held their hands higher. That is how I learned to shoot, but I am going to test the difference in speed between the two methods soon (waiting for the radar gun!) I will post the video when I test both methods
What a very helpful video. Thanks for all the tips and information. Rarely do you see individual skills being practiced anymore either on-ice or off-ice. I look forward to more videos like these from Varsity Hockey.
A really good video but try holding ur hand down lower! I take my wrist shot down low for max lift and power

@ZerohDubstep Typically AAA is better than varsity...at least where I live if you play AAA, you arent playing varsity for school.

@TodayInMyWorld Agreed, squaring off is how to get the most powerful shot. I have a 5 MPH difference between the two types of shot.
