  1. Hockey Slap Shot By Brandon Starkey and Tyler Kohmetscher

  2. Equipment • The hockey stick is usually between five and six feet long. • Made of wood, aluminum, fiber glass, carbon fiber, kevlar, and titanium. • They weigh between a pound and a pound and a half depending on material.

  3. Phases of the Shot • Preparation • Windup • Downswing • Loading the stick • Impact • The follow through

  4. Preparation Phase • Line front foot up with puck • This location optimizes energy to transferred to puck • Lead shoulder pointed to the target

  5. Wind Up Phase • Draw stick back • Further back=more velocity, but also means more time

  6. Downswing • Rotate hips, trunk, and shoulders • Contact anywhere from 4-12 inches behind the puck • Contacting behind the puck is essential for bend of the stick

  7. Loading the Stick • Apply pressure to the Stick by putting downward pressure on the stick with the lower hand • The height of the lower hand on the shaft is critical. • too high=not enough bend in stick • too low=not as much energy will be transferred to the puck

  8. Impact • Point when the blade catches the puck • Strike the heel of the blade (sweet spot) • Further out= more torque, not as accurate

  9. Follow Through • Used to maintain balance

  10. Keys to the Shot • Blade orientation • Hand Position • Impulse Duration • Stick Bending • “The key to a good slap shot is the conversion of angular momentum to linear momentum.”

  11. Muscles Used • Shoulder Adduction • Pectoralis Major • LatissimusDorsi • Teres Major • Shoulder Flexion • Anterior Deltoid • Shoulder Internal Rotation • Pectoralis Major • Subscapularis

  12. Muscles Used (cont) • Trunk Rotation • Internal/External obliques • Hip Flexion • Psoas • Illiacus • Pectineus • Elbow Extension • Triceps Brachii

  13. Muscles Used (cont) • Forearm Pronation • Pronator Quadratus • Wrist Flexion • Flexor carpi radialis • Ulnaris
