How fast puck can fly after snap shot or wrist shot? What my target must be? 70-80 mph?

[@nsdahockey]

A snap shot is the quickest released shot when carrying the puck and can get up to 70-90MPH, this would be from elite/powerful shooters. The wrist shot would have a little more drag on it as you would be sweeping the ice before release, the wrist shot can still get up to 70-80MPH. The best way to improve your shot power is to focus on your shooting technique and use the technology of the hockey stick to help release the puck with more speed. I hope this helps.
