wrist shots
Snap the puck
A wrist shot is a hockey technique where the puck is propelled using a flicking motion of the wrists rather than a full wind-up.
It sacrifices power for quickness and accuracy, making it effective in close quarters: He snapped a wrist shot past the goalie.
Contrast with slap shot, which uses a bigger backswing for more force.
