Hockey Tip #1: Forehand Wrist Shot

Tanja — Wed, 04 Aug 2004 15:13:16 -0400

This is the most important shot to learn. The key is weight transfer.

The weight transfer is similar to many other sports such as baseball and golf. Your weight will transfer from your back leg to your front leg.

1. Stand perpendicular to your target.

2. Have your stick cupped on the puck and the puck behind your back foot.

3. Transfer your weight as you move the puck forward and follow through.

4. To make the puck rise, quickly reverse your wrists. The height of your follow through (low or high), will determine how high the puck goes.

5. At the end of your follow through, your stick should be pointing towards your target.

2004 Christmas Tournament

The Hockey League has announced that they are now accepting applications for the 2004 Christmas Tournament. I think this would be a great opportunity and a lot of fun for our team!

Once again this year they are offering House League divisions for Novice to Midget/Intermediate. They are inviting any house league team to apply for entry. These divisions will consist of 6 teams per age group and each team is guaranteed 3 games. The fee for all house league teams is $700. Again, this season, they may have to limit teams in divisions due to ice constraints.

I look forward to another successful season!

Coach Molly
