Hockey Shots - Screencast

Welcome back Gobbler fans! When watching hockey, do you know that a player doesn't just hits the puck with the stick to try to score? There is actually a lot of science and technique involved with getting the desired shot. In today's post we will be looking at the four types of shots in hockey that are the most common. These shots are: Slapshot, Wrist shot, Snap shot and Backhand shot. From power to accuracy, there is a shot for everyone. Personally, I use the wrist shot the most although I have experimented with the slapshot on occasion.

But wait until you see what we have in store for you today! We will be presenting this lesson on hockey in a screencast! So, click the play button, sit back and enjoy. Don't forget to leave any comments or questions!

  1. Very nice screen cast! I love the breakdown of the shots in slow motion - it really shows where all the power comes from in the slap shop, the aim in the wrist shot, but then my connection gets lost. It could be my computer, but the video freezes at about the 1:50 mark. From what I've seen, I love your transitions and this looks and sounds really clean and was interesting.

    1. Amelia,
      Thanks for the comment. I played the video four times with no problems and also tried it on another computer. I am not sure why it would freeze. Are you able to play anything after 1:50, maybe by fast forwarding it past 1:50? Please let me know.

  2. I've just watched, using IE 8 on my PC laptop and it played perfectly. Amelia, make sure that you are not accessing the blog site from within an Angel frame. Other than advising you to try different browsers, that is the only other advice that I can think to offer at this time.

    David!! That is one of the best screencasts I've seen over the past 4 years. Your organization and choice of text/video was great. Audio was slow and easy to digest. Hard to believe that you put that much into just under 4 minutes. Excellent work!

  3. Woo! So I tried again in screenr and it let me jump to the 3:30 mark and I got to see the whole thing. Super nice job - I learned a lot! Even as someone who was already a fan!

  5. Great Job David. I am ready to hit the Ice now!!!! This looks very professional and the sound was great. What type of mic did you use???or was it a headset. Either way, great job.

  6. Great video. Very well done. Slow and concise, and as I saw stated above, I loved the slow motion breakdowns of the shots.
