What is a "slapshot"?
A slapshot is a powerful hockey shot where the player swings the stick back and then strikes the puck with a quick, forceful motion. The player usually brings the stick low to the ice, and as they move it forward, they hit the puck with the blade to send it flying toward the goal with great speed. Slapshots are often used from a distance to generate maximum power, making them difficult for the goalie to stop. This type of shot is commonly seen during offensive plays, especially on power plays or from the blue line.
Examples
