Comments on How to Score on a Breakaway in Ice Hockey

Step 1: Go in on goal at medium speed going straight toward the net and about 10 feet to the left of center if you're a lefty or 10 feet to the right if you're a righty. Step 2: When you're about 15 feet away from the goalie, load up for a wrist shot, once you do this he/she should stop and square up for the shot. Step 3: Hold this position while gliding in on goal until you're 5 feet away from the goalie. Once you are, all you have to do is kick your right leg if you're a lefty and you're left leg if your a righty and bring your stick slightly in front of the puck and then right behind it once really fast. Step 4: When you're bringing your stick back behind the puck, draw the puck back also while turning your skates to the right if you're a lefty and to the left if you're a righty. Step 5: Roof It! Shoot for top left corner if you're a righty and top right if you're a lefty.

First of all, keep your legs moving when you're in all alone. Second, when you get in all alone when about 7-10 feet from the net, fake a 'wrister' and as the puck slides forward (before it leaves your reach) bring it back with your back hand. This will freeze the goalie, then simply drag the puck and roof it with your backhand.

Start by coming from the right side and move toward the left on an angle. Once you get close to the net, put the puck forward to the left bottom corner, take it back, repeat once more,and once it's pulled back, make sure it's about a foot behind you, and shoot it toward the mid-height right side of the net. Because the goalie will be more on the left side, if you get off a fast shot, he won't expect it and it will go past. If he isn't really covering the left side of the net, just shoot it past him at mid height on the left.

Most goalies, after about the peewee level, will start to figure out patterns on breakaways. Most players move the puck to the side when they are going to shoot, and if they're going to deke they keep the puck in front of them. Shooting from directly in front of you, and not from the side, or deking from your side and not from the front are two great ways to really screw up a goalie. Another great move was done perfectly by Pavel Datsyuk. He's left handed and so am I, so I'll explain from that perspective, righties just switch it around. 1) Come from straight on, maybe a little to the left. 2) About the hash marks or so, wind up for a wrist shot, and act like you're going to shoot. 3) Right before you hit the point where you would release the shot, put your stick in front of the puck, and catch it on the backhand, this should drop the goalie. 4) Then pull the puck to your right, and pop it upstairs.

While skating, about 5-10 feet away from the goalie, depending on how fast you're skating, (I'm left handed, so righties reverse it): 1. Kick your right leg up poising for a shot. 2. Put your right leg back down and fake to your backhand, then backhand the puck at your right skate, making sure your skate is at an angle. 3. Watch the puck bounce slightly behind you (as you're skating forward) and to the left, and reach your stick to the left, sweeping the puck past the goalie. It takes a while to perfect this move, but I started doing it when I played street hockey.

Go wide left (I'm right handed), fake the backhand shot, go to your forehand and fake the forehand while cutting across the net, and take your bottom hand off your stick and bang it in with one hand.

As you come in on the goalie, pick up a little speed. If you are going to try to deke, the more fakes you do, the better. If you see the goalie out a ways when you are coming in, look to deke. If the goalie tries to poke check the puck, when you see his stick coming out, make a quick, short move. then look to shoot in the top half of the net. If he is back in the net, take a shot. Since the goalie is back in the net, you will have more space to shoot it past them. Make sure you don't take too long to make up your mind.

When you're in all alone on the goalie, always keep your feet moving and skate flat out. It is much harder for a goalie when you're coming in 30 mph, than when you're coming in at 5 mph. This forces the goalie to make the first move and when he does - burn him!

On a breakaway, (if left handed to reverse) skate on the right side. When you're about 6 feet from the goal, drag your right toe, to slow down a bit. When you reach the goalie, cross over your position, to the left side, putting your stick across your body, and the puck on the back hand of your stick. As the goalie commits, getting ready to poke check, stop immediately, swing back, putting the puck back on the fore side of stick, skate back to the right side and roof it over him. This works 99 times out of 100 (unless the goalie knows you're going to do it).

Skate at full speed. When about 10-15 feet away from the goal, move to the side where you will shoot. Then make a very sharp turn to your opposite side and as close to the goal as possible. Put on the brakes, cut and shoot on the side you want.

I don't know how many times I see it, and it drives me nuts. Don't stop skating once you're in alone. Know which way you're going, and keep skating hard, and you won't need to pull any fakes. You'll be moving too fast for any goalie to stop you.

Skate hard down towards the net. When you get about seven feet from the net, wind up as if you're going to take a slap or snap short towards one of the sides of the net. Then when you see the goalie slide across to block the shot on that side of the net, you cut to the opposite side and put the biscuit in the basket.

This old hockey cliche means: remember that the view from the blade of your stick is far different than the view from your helmet. When it looks like you don't have a shot, there may be enough net visible from the puck's perspective. They are creepy, these pucks with eyes.
