Puck Shooting Skills

The development of hockey shooting skills consists of learning and mastering the techniques, developing accuracy, consistency and power and mastering shooting from different angles and positions.

To become a great shooter, a player needs to practice two to three hundreds shots a week of all the different types of hockey shots (wrist shot, backhand shot, snap shot and slap shot), and will benefit their passing and stick handling. This combination of off-ice and on-ice shooting practice will develop good shooting skills.

All sports are the same; the best players spend hours and hours every week on developing their skills. Hockey is one of the sports where players practice their shots the least. The reason is simple: while on the ice, players spend little time on shooting. Every serious hockey player from the beginner to the junior levels needs to practice hockey shooting off the ice.

Remember that shooting skills are difficult to master and require a lot of time and effort.

Have fun while you learn new shooting skills and become a better player!
