A Quick Shot is Better Than a Hard Shot

A hard shot is great but a quick shot is better... I have never witnessed a puck being shot through a goalie, so don't give the goalie time to set and get in the way of the shot.

Quick shots are more effective in getting the puck into the net.

Practice quick shots off both feet. A lot of players can't shoot while skating in stride.
They telegraph the fact they are about to shoot by stopping their feet and gliding before they shoot. Keep your feet moving right through the shot and learn to shoot off both feet.

What is a quick shot?... A quick shot is a shot that minimizes the time a goalie has to
set and react to a shot. If you give the goalie time to prepare for the shot it greatly increases the goalies ability to stop your attempt. If you shoot quickly the goalie is not set. The goalie may be: off balance, their stick is off the ice, moving the wrong way, back in the net to far, etc.

Weak-side ‘One-timers’ are a great example of a quick effective shot. The goalie is set
for the play on one side of the ice and the puck is passed to the opposite side of the ice and the player receiving the pass shoots on net in one motion before letting the goalie get set.
