A deke is a hockey move where a player fakes a shot or pass to trick an opponent and create space to advance or score. It is often used to get past defenders or goalkeepers by making them react in the wrong direction. The player will move or shoot in one direction, only to quickly move the puck the other way. It requires good stickhandling, timing, and quick reflexes to successfully fool the opponent.

It is used in Canada, especially in hockey culture, to mean avoiding, dodging, or going around an opponent or obstacle, often using trickery, fakes, or clever maneuvering. People typically say "He deked out the defenseman" or "I deked around the puddle." The term originated in Canadian hockey slang in the mid 20th century, from "decoy," and later spread into general Canadian English for any act of dodging or faking out an opponent or obstacle, whether physical or metaphorical.
