I've got a video for that, just finished it the other day. It will be on the HockeyShot channel though. I will share a link with anyone who is subscribed to my blog.
Start learning with it in the middle, then try the toe. Once you learn to flex the shaft and blade you can effectively shoot right from the toe like some of the pro's do. You can also pull it in with the toe and then snap it near the middle.
Hey man, been playing inline hockey for about 10 years and just finished my first season of ice and only just realised through watching this vid how much power and speed you gain on your shots by pulling your top hand back as you follow through, thanks heaps
Yes the best place for this snapshot is from in close, when you need to get a quick shot off. After a lot of practice you should be able to get a powerful snapshot, however the wristshot (as shown in my other video) allows you to use more of your body and put more power into the shot vs the snapshot shown in this video.
How To Hockey - Coach Jeremy hey jeremy im 16 and dont really have a lot of hockey experience but i really want to sign up to play ice hockey. Do you think its too late to start playing at my age? I know that a lot of players start from a young age.
Not at all. There are kids on my high school team who started last year, or the year before. They aren't very good compared to the rest of our team, and often don't dress for our games, but if you don't go into it expecting to start or anything, it can still be a lot of fun. You will certainly still get the experience, and I would absolutely recommend you do it.
Started playing hockey a just over two years ago, I've watched this video many many times to try and learn how to take a snap shot so I don't have to set myself up to take a full-on wrist shot. Took a really nice snap shot in a game last week (goalie got a piece with the back end of his stick) and the ref gave me props and said "not many people know how to take a good snap shot"!... thanks How To Hockey and Coach Jeremy!!! Your videos are awesome!
Hey Jeremy i am a big fan of your videos. I just started last year and your videos are really helping me out a lot. I would really appreciate it if you make a tutorial on how to stop on your weak side. That would make a huge difference in my game. Thank you for the sweet videos.
Bauer One100's, they are good skates. I like them a lot but would only recommend them if your feet have stopped growing (too expensive to grow out of after a year!)
I play hockey. But not in any club. But Thanks to you Jeremy! My hockey skating skills, shooting, technique and accuracy and power has gotten to better level. Thanks to you and your tutorial videos! I might have chance to join to some club. I am 15 and i really wanted to play hockey in my Country own club. S-Kiekko. And my parents told me that i didnt say enough that i wanted to play hockey. I do play hockey in outside ice, for 5 hours to 7 hours a day. But thanks to you i learned all the thing they would have taught in the club. Thank you really much man for everything! For every video you made, they helped me getting forward and better in hockey. Thank you really really much! Also Greetings From Finland! Have a good day man :)!
Yeah, you need to get a feel for where the puck is on the blade of your stick. The only way to do this is with practice. Eventually just by stickhandling you will know if the puck is at the toe, heel, or middle from the feel of it. Work on it off the ice by stickhandling a few times, then take a peak at your blade then look at your target and then shoot. After a while try doing it without looking at your stick first. Get used to the feel when the puck is in the middle of your blade
Thanks for watching, if you need any help just ask. Don't forget to join us on Facebook and subscribe to our blog (links in the video description) Jeremy
Hey. I big mile. Just turned 60 and never skated. Now hockey learn to skate 101. 56 skates in an doin good. The tutorials help me big time. Thanx.....🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒
Great video dude! One thing that has eluded me since i was a kid was a snap shot, this explained it that much better for me. Now to work on it. I've always relied on my slap shot, onetimers and wrist shots the most and if i can fix my weak snap shot, man, that would be great! From a hockey reviewer, thank you!
with the right technique any stick, but before I got a composite with the p92 curve, I couldn't get the puck off the ice, and now I'm getting the puck off the ice very easily. Also, make sure you get a stick with lots of flex, and really push the stick down into the ice when you shoot.
thank you for the videos and not making us sit through the ads. really great coachimg. im playing hockey for the first time sunday in like 5 years so il be watching your videos alot. thank you so much. im going to go checkout howtohockey com right now. good luck one love and thanks again
Thanks man I've seen you in alot of videos for like a few years and just thought all your videos are helpful thanks for that. Definatley subscribed! Haha I think you should go to the NHL
Hi Jeremy, How important is the accuracy in a slap shot? Or should I only focus on power and quick release because as you said I want to catch the goalie off guard....
Maybe it doesn't happen as often, but there's plenty of situations where you will take them while stationary. Like if you have the puck at the point and you need to get it off quick, or if your get a pass in the slot but it's a bit off so you can't one-time it.
If youre trying to dangle around defenders and need to get a shot off quick snapshots are ideal even stationary you cant slapshot every time youre stationary
Hey Jeremy - another great video. I love how in depth you go by breaking it down into slow motion. However I am wondering...what camera do you use to shoot these? I ask because when you slow mo it the picture is very blurry. If you used an HD camera and filmed in 720p, you could have you slow mo's captured with up to 60 fps (frames per second) giving you that clear slow mo picture, and your viewers the clear idea you are instructing them on.
Hey jeremy! Just a request... Mabybe someone else out there would like to learn these skills just as much as I do... I have been avidly watching your how to videos and my game has improved leaps. If you could possibly to a tutorial on how to hockey stop with your outside edge on one leg, another good one would be one touch passes as well! Greats vids.. and thanks again!
oh man, this 6 minute snapshot tutorial is better than my son's coach. I am living in Shanghai China, can't blame the coach as hockey is quite a new game here.
Jeremy I had a question, I notice when some players shoot, right before the puck is shot there is a snapping sound, probably from the flex of the stick. I've been trying to get that "pop" but since your stick is on the puck for the snapshot I'm unable to do it. Any tips?
+SardineCanSuccess Think of the shot as more of a super condensed slap shot. It will help your release and snap if you dont bring the puck back with you, but instead flex the stick and then make contact with the puck. Its hard to describe
+eulenspeigel Actually ive tried that and it worked but the issue im having is how to snap the puck on a snapshot, i just kind of seem to throw it and not snap the puck. since its a snapshot my stick is always touching the puck so i cant snap it.
+SardineCanSuccess hey what you do is sort of combine snapshot and wristshot. you pull the puck forward like a wrist shot and the puck should leave your stick for a split second. then snap putting your weight in the stick and it should be a harder shot. you should also hear the snapping sound
+SardineCanSuccess The way you od it is you shoot kinda like a mid Slapshot. You make contact with the ice before the puck. The contact with the ice creates that snap as well as begin flexing your stick so it catches the puck an sends it flying. The best place to make contact is like an inch or 2 away from the puck
I am also trying to work on this so called BASIC SKILL...which is still hard for me....tried....kind of have the puck in control...and then...when I am ready to shoot.....either droped out of the blade or fly to a direction that I was not aiming at.........||| HOCKEY...I love it, but it gives me some hard time....|||
I coach mites and 95% of the team couldn’t do a wrist shot so I had them stand in front of the net and snap it at the cross bar. Kids figured that out and now applying it to the wrist shot.
TheChuckingNorris Your so god damn lucky, down here in South Florida I can't even play in the winter unless I go to an indoor rink, which costs money to actually play hockey there, instead of making my own little rink or playing pond hockey. And plus I hate the fucking heat and the beach, I would love to be surrounded with snow, forests and mountains. You guys have an awsome country in terms of sports and weather. And your fucking glorious accents,
It's never too old to start, and if you're committed enough you should be able to pick it up quite easily. As long as you don't get discouraged you'll be flying with the other skaters in no time.
I started playing last week and I'm in my 20s. The key is to not feel embarrassed about being a beginner. I went out 4 days in a row and I've already improved a lot. Just watch out for that lace bite! If you aren't used to wearing skates and you are trying to powerskate, you could cause some major pain to your ankle tendon if you overdue it. Good luck!
I've got a video for that, just finished it the other day. It will be on the HockeyShot channel though. I will share a link with anyone who is subscribed to my blog.
Up to your usual high standard. Thanks, I will practice this.
Start learning with it in the middle, then try the toe. Once you learn to flex the shaft and blade you can effectively shoot right from the toe like some of the pro's do. You can also pull it in with the toe and then snap it near the middle.

I did, it's called how to take a snapshot - off ice tutorial. There will also be a new on on the HockeyShot TH-cam channel soon.
thanks to every one who encouraged me just signed up for hockey
That's amazing! Respect
Hey coach do you think you could me me through on how to tape a stick
awesome! stick with it, its worth it.

Yes it does, turning the hands over gives you a little more control, power and better accuracy.
Going to try this technique tomorrow in training. Thanks for the great tips, will let you know how I get on!

Jeremy
hey jeremy, you should do one on flipping the puck and how to use it to your advantage at full stride, also when to use it.
good vids, i just started playing in the local league, i can't shoot worth crap but hope this helps me out. Very thorough and i like it.
Hey. I big mile. Just turned 60 and never skated. Now hockey learn to skate 101. 56 skates in an doin good. The tutorials help me big time. Thanx.....🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒
You need to start with the blade cupping the puck, then pull it towards the net a bit, and towards your body a bit, then do the snap motion.
Can you do a video which is more effective if you can utilize it power or quick release great vid
again another award winning video! thanks for posting
well done video, best shooting tutorial I have ever seen
Great video dude! One thing that has eluded me since i was a kid was a snap shot, this explained it that much better for me. Now to work on it. I've always relied on my slap shot, onetimers and wrist shots the most and if i can fix my weak snap shot, man, that would be great!

Thank you for the vid. i will put it to good use.
Thank you. Your Video really helps me to take a snapshot
Great tutorial!!! Best snapshot tutorial i've seen.
thank you so much for this video. it helped me alot

snapshot is without a doubt the kind of shot that you need to practice the most of every kind of shot, it took me years to do it really well
Nice Peg Shot Buddy!
do you recommend releasing the puck from the toe or heel of the blade?
it's really a personal preference, I shoot heel to toe, but I have a few buds who shoot just toe or heel.
+Michael Pinto toe for quicker release. i prefer toe
Depends where you want the puck . Heal low , toe high
Heel for more power and accuracy and toe for more height and quicker release its personal preference and situation dependant
I like toe
extremely helpful, thanks.
Thanks man I've seen you in alot of videos for like a few years and just thought all your videos are helpful thanks for that. Definatley subscribed! Haha I think you should go to the NHL
Nice lesson I learned a lot from you
Thank you!!! I will practice the skill with your advise tonight~
Did you practice rhis
Hi Jeremy,
How important is the accuracy in a slap shot? Or should I only focus on power and quick release because as you said I want to catch the goalie off guard....
A CCM, not sure which one, it was 50% off :)
Very helpful thanks !!
I wear a full cage during games, I don't wear a visor while shooting videos though, no point.
How To Hockey - Coach Jeremy same. Gotta protect the moneymaker
Nobody takes a snap or wrist shot standing in one spot. Would've been better if you showed us the positioning while moving.
LiftOrGTFO true
Maybe it doesn't happen as often, but there's plenty of situations where you will take them while stationary. Like if you have the puck at the point and you need to get it off quick, or if your get a pass in the slot but it's a bit off so you can't one-time it.

Jeremy, where can I get a sweet how to hockey jersey? I would totally wear that to stick times and pick up games.
What stick(s) are best to get high wrist shots?
This will be useful for my schools hockey sticks, they have large rubber ends and thin, hollow plastic for a shaft.
oh man, this 6 minute snapshot tutorial is better than my son's coach. I am living in Shanghai China, can't blame the coach as hockey is quite a new game here.
Very cool to be helping teach hockey across the world! It's good that he has a coach, but never hurts to pick up a few tips online as well :)
thanks for video.
when I use a snapshot or wristshot, what does my topwhirst and bottomwhirst? or my topwhirst doesn't work
Андрей Груша посмотри его видео про wrist shot от очень хорошо объясняет про это
Thank You!
great videos and great quality videos you helped me do me shots better thanks.
:-)
where on your blade should the puck be when you shoot?
Does it matter to turn you hands over on the follow through or does it not matter at all
It looks so COOL when u shoot a snapshot ☺️😉😉😃😀
good shot
dood
where should the puck be on the blade of your stick when you take a snap shot?
lol just when I need to finaly learn shooting properly. Thank you guys :)
how should i shoot off ice to improve my on ice shoot?
what kind of stick are you using
Thx so much it was so helpul🙏🏻
Are you play for Zvolen?
My coach was teaching my team how to take a proper slapshot and, found out my coach has a wicked shot
One way to call the snap-shot is "mini" slap-shot...because my slap shot technique is identical to your description except without the wind-up....
Thankyou for this

I comment on videos Good explanation.
What is good distance shoot snapshot off ice in meters??
Is the donckey kick still a good way to do a snap shot
Yousef Ashour yes he said that
What flex is best for snap shots?
100 trust me
pond hockey would be sweet though. haha. did you ever used to play juniors?
I'm seeing what I'm doing wrong. I'm not getting my hands out like that. Great video Jeremy.
Très bon...
do you have your own rink?
you are realy cool thanks for vids!!!!
Cool! Is the same in normal hockey? I mean, Inline Hockey?
You referred to rollerblading as "normal hockey" to a Canadian Hahahahahahahahahahahhaahha
lol
I play rollerblade Hockey, even tho I'm Canadian as well

super helpfull men
Every time i watch these How to Hockey videos, i realize that i'm not doing anything wrong...
It makes me realize I'm doing everything wrong... haha. I just started this past summer.
I play all winter here in Canada, best sport ever!

+Somewhere in Aspen I'm in the UK so there are barely any indoor rinks either. We just get rain...
First like 10 seconds was my arena
thanks:)
can you lern us how to make ice moves
I was just wondering when you started hockey I've just decided to play but I feel like I'm to unexperienced
best of ps4 i started playing last year and ive already improved so much and im 12
It's never too old to start, and if you're committed enough you should be able to pick it up quite easily. As long as you don't get discouraged you'll be flying with the other skaters in no time.
best of ps4 i have improved and became a captain of a bantam A team I did it by practicing everyday
i'm 29 and i just started.
I started playing last week and I'm in my 20s. The key is to not feel embarrassed about being a beginner. I went out 4 days in a row and I've already improved a lot. Just watch out for that lace bite! If you aren't used to wearing skates and you are trying to powerskate, you could cause some major pain to your ankle tendon if you overdue it. Good luck!
very good.....I play hockey,,,,,
ah the good old snap shot. can be dangerous when done right. and quicker to get off then a slap maybe even more accurate.
