In this video Coach Sean McLaughlin of Elite Hockey Science Reston introduces and demonstrates the elbow dribble for your backhand-to-forehand & stall snap snapshots. It’s important to remember that if you’re carrying the puck, biomechanics throughout the “loading phase” matters the MOST because it puts you in the right position to execute the “firing phase” with puck velocity, accuracy, and deception.
After watching this video, the next time you have the puck in a game and your brain messages to your hands it’s time to shoot, you’ll already know how to be pre-loaded correctly. Finally, Coach Sean exemplifies the deceptive shots & shot-angle-change techniques that make the Colorado Avalanche’s Nathan MacKinnon a complete hockey player. MacKinnon combines deceptive shooting with tremendous overall power to be the current leading point scorer in the National Hockey League with 66 points through 42 games played.
