Slap Shot

there are many different things you need to include when taking a slap shot in hockey
Skate to within a reasonable shooting distance from the goal.

  • Position your body sideways to the net and in a normal passing stance - skates parallel, knees bent, back bent forward, stick extended, blade edge flat on the ice (or roller rink) and puck cradled in the center of the blade.

  • Raise the stick up and straight back until your bottom hand is at shoulder level.

  • Keep your bottom arm straight.

  • Shift your weight to the back foot.

  • Raise your eyes, and mark the desired target (an open edge of the gop]al, not an opponent's helmet).

  • Bring the stick aggressively forward: Pull with your top hand, push with the bottom hand.

  • Transfer your weight to the front foot.

  • Strike the puck on its bottom edge.

  • reverse stick tackle

    Backhand hitTo practice this skill in pairs.
    One of the players passes the ball towards the reverse stick side of the other player this player tries to block the ball to the forehand side with one touch (flat stick on the ground) and passes the ball back
    then the player with the ball runs towards the defender and the defender will perform a reverse stick tackle being sure to keep the stick low to the ground and there hands in the correct position.
    defender runns away with the ball and the roles reversed.
    This is one of my average skills i was ok at the reverse stick tackcle i would give myself a 7/10 rating.
