1. slapshot

   A slapshot is a type of shot in ice hockey where the player swings their stick back and then forcefully swings forward, hitting the puck with the blade of the stick, making it fly swiftly towards the goal. Typically, the player will first vigorously slap the ice slightly behind the puck and then continue the swing to make contact with the puck. This move is known for its speed and power.

1. Slapshot

   A slapshot in ice hockey is the hardest shot one can perform. It has four stages which are executed in one fluid motion to make the puck fly into the net: ⁕The player winds up his hockey stick to shoulder height or higher. ⁕Next the player violently "slaps" the ice slightly behind the puck and uses his weight to bend the stick, storing energy in it like a spring. This bending of the stick gives the slapshot its amazing speed. Just like a bow and arrow, the stick's tendency to return to being straight is transferred to the puck, giving it much more speed than just hitting it alone could. ⁕When the face of the stick blade strikes the puck, the player rolls his wrists and shifts his weight so that the energy stored in the stick is released through the puck. ⁕Finally, the player follows through, ending up with the stick pointed towards the desired target. The slapshot is harder than other shots, and because of the violent motion involved, somewhat less accurate. It also takes longer to execute; a player usually cannot take a slapshot while under any significant pressure from an opposing player because the opponent could easily interfere during the windup. The slapshot is most commonly used by a defenceman at the point, especially during a power play, although a forward will sometimes find an opportunity to use it.
