Bridgeport's Matt Hunter on the toughest shot for a goaliee
July 27, 2003

As a goalie, I find that the hardest shot to save for me is the off-stick hip shots. The reasoning for this is that while the shot is coming at me, I find it hard to decide whether I want to make the save by coming across my body with my stick or to come across my face with my stick.

I would suggest that you learn how to shoot to the off-stick side of the goalie. All goalies are weak to their off-stick side. Before a game, look at what hand the goalie is and practice shooting to his off-stick side. When the game starts you already have a feel on were you want to put your shot.

Remember that your shot does not have to be the hardest shot on the field. As long as you can place the shot where the goalie is not and where you want it to go, you will score more goals.

Good Luck,
HUNTER
