Stop Looking at Your Puck When You Shoot

Improving Shot Accuracy Without Losing Power

The presenter advises keeping your eyes on a specific target—such as a letter on the goalie’s equipment—throughout the shooting motion. Avoid looking down at the puck during the wind-up or repeatedly shifting your focus between the puck and the target.

Follow through by pointing the bottom of the stick blade toward the target. The presenter compares the alignment to aiming a rifle from the side of the body, rather than shooting from the hip or holding the stick awkwardly across the body.
