How top players snap shot
It is important to shoot while you are skating and let the puck go within your stickhandling moves.
I just got back from playing hockey and was the centre for Murray Heatley and his son Dany. They both let the shot go when skating and change the angle of the blade just before release, usually with a fake to one spot and release to another. They let the shot go without gliding and setting it up first.
So practice shooting in stride and making the goalie think you are shooting one place and then read his lean and shoot where he ain't.
