Get Full Access

This video provides guidance on refining the off-ice wrist shot, focusing on proper hand positioning, blade control, and body mechanics to enhance accuracy and power.

Coaching Points:

  1. Hand Positioning:

    • Keep your top hand up and away from your body to generate leverage and flex in your shot.
    • Push with the bottom hand to maximize power and control.

  2. Blade Control:

    • Start with the puck on the heel of the blade, ensuring it is cupped to maintain control.
    • Avoid opening the blade too early to prevent loss of power and accuracy.

  3. Body Mechanics:

    • Place the puck in your shooting box, close to your body, for optimal control.
    • Drive your shoulders forward, transferring weight from the back foot to the front foot.

  4. Follow-Through:

    • Push the bottom glove and stick towards the target, letting the blade naturally open up.
    • Aim for the desired height by adjusting the angle and power of your follow-through.

  5. Accuracy:

    • Focus on aiming at specific areas of the net by guiding your shot with your hands and blade.
    • Practice shooting low and high to develop versatility in targeting different areas of the net.

  6. Progression:

    • Start stationary to refine technique, then incorporate movement with roller blades for a game-like feel.
