One of the most common questions I get is…
“Where is the best place to shoot on the goalies?”
Well, in my opinion, here it is: above the pads, below the mitts! We need the puck to get to the goalie just as their pads hit the ice. The goalie goes down, the puck is going up. Adding deception elevates your initial shot success and second chance opportunities!
If you want to truly understand why this works - and how to consistently execute it - my Mastering Fundamentals of Shooting course is a must-buy. I break down elite shooting mechanics, timing, deception, and scoring habits in a way that translates directly to game situations. This isn’t just about shooting harder - it’s about shooting smarter, scoring more, and building repeatable habits that beat goalies at every level.
