🚨 Catch & Shoot in Stride = Game Changer 🚨
Too many players stop their momentum when receiving a pass… ❌ At the elite level, that split-second kills scoring chances.
Here’s the key:
🏒 Catch the puck clean on your forehand while standing still.
⚡ Explode right away into stride after the catch—no wasted motion.
đź§ Use underhandling (less puck touches) to stay deceptive and keep your speed.
🎯 Release the puck in stride—before defenders or goalies can reset.
âś… Why it matters: Players who can catch-and-release in stride create higher-percentage scoring chances and become dangerous threats every time they touch the puck.
