Slap Shot Video
Description: The person should begin with their stick on the ground as if they are ready to make or receive a pass. Once the person has the puck they should begin to move their stick backwards until it is about 6 inches behind their head. Then the person should bring the stick down (at full speed) and try to hit the puck as hard as they can. While doing this they should follow-through and the stick should end up at about waist level in front of them. To recover from this the person should bring their stick back to the ground and be ready for another pass, shot, or to make a pass.

TERMS FOR "SLAP SHOT"

Hockey Stick- The stick that the hockey players use to shoot or pass the puck.

Hockey Puck- The puck that is used during an ice hockey game.

Hockey Gloves- Gloves that are on the players hands during a game to protect their fingers and wrists.

Hockey Goal- The net/goal where the hockey players try to score in during a hockey game.

Drills

There are plenty of drills you can do to improve your slap shot. A slap shot involves your legs, arms, shoulder, and core. I want to focus on one particualr drill that is called the weighted squat. This drills works on your legs. Legs are important during a slap shot because this is the first place where you get your power from. You have to push off with your back leg/skate to get power and then you transfer your weight foward.

During this drill you want to make sure you do not lift too much weight because you can easily throw your back out. You also want to make sure your back is straight, your keeping your thighs parrellel to the floor while squatting, and that your feet are about shoulder width apart. This will give you a good balance and you will not injure your back.
