📊 Let’s talk numbers… and why your training should reflect them.
Only 4% of point shots actually go in at the NHL level.
But shots that come from behind the net to the slot? 👉 12.8% of those end up in the back of the net.
Why? Because everyone’s eyes follow the puck behind the net — and that opens up space. 👀
And here’s the kicker — a huge percentage of goals are tip-ins and deflections.
Yet, how often are players actually working on them?
⚠️ If you’re not practicing tips + deflections, you’re ignoring one of the highest-percentage scoring areas.
Work smarter. Train where the goals actually happen.
