"Another shot, that you might want to use is a snap shot. To do a snap shot, it's kind of in between a wrist shot and a slap shot but what you're going to do is, you're going to do the same as the wrist shot. Pull it back, on the toe with your body weight back on your back leg and then you flick it forward and then hit, real quick. Real quickly you're just going to tap the puck and slap that ice, real quick. It's a quick hard shot, the goalie might be a little bit surprised, if you take it but it's a good way to get a good hard shot off. A little bit harder than your wrist shot, if you can do it right. So back leg, pull back and drag it all the way through. Just like the wrist shot almost. I'll show you. Of course you don't want to miss the net, like I just did."
