How Do You Score A Backhand Goal In Hockey?
You can enjoy a great deal of success in hockey by learning to score a backhand goal. Goalies have a great deal of difficulty defending against backhand shots effectively. Since most players don’t frequently practice backhand shots in normal practice settings, the goalies don’t get much practice defending them. This creates an inherent weakness in the game of many goalies which you can capitalize on by learning to score backhand goals. Position yourself so the puck lies on the heel side of your hockey stick. In most cases you’ll find yourself in this position and opt for a backhand shot instead of trying to re-position yourself quickly for a more conventional shot. Begin your shot by taking a short forward swing and then reversing the momentum of your hockey stick and striking the puck with a backhand swing. Transfer your weight from your front skate to your back skate. Follow through with the motion to direct the puck in the intended direction. Prepare yourself to field a rebound shot
