You didn't mention it, but as a forward I would like to know, are D men taught to keep the puck low with point shots?

Reason I ask is that I was battling in front of the net to screen the goalie the other week and the defender on my team managed to whistle the puck past my face!

@ComradeOblivious yeah we mentioned it in some of our other videos and articles. D-men should always shoot low when there is traffic in front, better chance of the puck making it to the net, and less chance of injuring their own players.

ive watched all the slapsot videos but i cant get the puck off the ground, sometime i can but its just luck...any advice?

[howtohockeydotcom]

@kylebaja123 Practice like crazy, and keep working on the proper technique. I would say MAKE SURE you hit the ground / ice first, this is key. It flexes the stick and gives you more lift. Beginners usually get this wrong and try to cheat. Make sure you have the right size and flex stick as well.

@howtohockeydotcom Always good to remind folk of it though, even with a helmet on a well struck puck can make a mess of your head!

@metropolous33 I like to hit it around the middle of the blade to the back cause then it can roll off when you make contact with it
