Build Your Skills
As you’ll see in this guide, HockeyShot has al l kinds of great
training aids for taking your ice hockey game to the next level.
But most people want to start with the basics—the most obvi-
to mind is shooting the puck. Then you might st art thinking
-
ing and overall strength and agility. So, sticking with the obvi-
1. A hockey stick , preferably not your on-ice stick
2. A simulated ice sur face such as a shooting pad or dryland
3. A puck , training puck or ball
Shooting pads work well if you have limited space, as the y are
easy to move and store. If you’re lucky enough to have dedicat-
ed space such as a basement or unused garage, the Hockey-
Shot Dryland Flooring Tiles let you create a slippery, smooth,
custom surface area for training.
Shooting
Want to impro ve you r shot ? Sho ot 10 0 puck s per day— or at

least shoot for shooting 100 pucks per day! No matter how many
shots you actually take, practicing your shot is one of the eas-
pad or use your “outdoor” stick, and be careful not to hit any-
thing (cars, windows, passersby). If accuracy is an issue, look
into a backstop, cage or shooting tarp.
“You miss 100% of the shots you never take.” — Wayne Gretzky
Accuracy… How can my son develop a more a ccurate
shot? He seems to use the goalie as a target, and we all
know it’s not going to go through his body.
Practicing a ny sport tha t involves sho oting—from arc hery
hockey, of course, your target is anywhere the goalie is not
are the most likely spots to score, those are generally the tar-
gets your son can practice on from home. All you need to do is
•
Pockets s uch as EZ Goal 4 Corne r Nettin g Targets
•
Hanging targets such as X-Targets
•
A “goalie” tarp such as the Ultimate Goalie

Q&A
Question:
Does my son really need sus-
penders? Answer: Standard
hockey equipment can be
a mystery to many parents,
and add-ons such as suspend-
ers even more so. Why do some players have
them and some don’t? Can you put suspenders
on any hockey pants, or do you need special
ones? Basically, it’s a matter of preference.
Some players like a looser t in the waist, so
they wear suspenders to keep the pants up. (If
you like suspenders, be sure pants have the at-
tachment for them inside.) For smaller players,
however, who may not have a dened waist
around which to tighten a belt, suspenders
work great—plus suspe nders keep Mite coac h-
es from having to pull players aside to tighten
their pants throughout practice.
Q&A
Question:
What if we nd
the perfect

breezers but
they're the wrong
color? Answer: You can actually buy
a “pants shell” to cover breezers,
whether you need to match team
colors for hand-me-downs o r used
hockey pants, hide wear and tear,
or (heaven forbid) cover blood
stains. Zippers and/or Velcro keep
the shell in place. So the next time
hand-me-downs come your way or
you nd an awesome pa ir at a great
price, you can take color out of the
equation.
