GOAL SCORING TIPS
Not everyone is a 'natural goal scorer'. However,
here are some tips that will improve any player's
ability to score goals:
1. Shoot the
puck! Too many young players try to get the perfect
scoring opportunity and often hold on to the puck
too long or stick handle too much. Getting the puck
on net creates the opportunity for rebounds or the
chance of a deflection.
2. Go to the net. Over ½ of all goals are
scored on tips or rebounds. Players that are willing
to go to the net without the puck tend to score
lots.
3. Get the puck up. In today's game, most
goalies play a 'butterfly' style to take away the
bottom of the net. In close, aim for the top corners
"where gramma hides the cookies!"
