slapshot

A slapshot is a powerful hockey shot where the player winds up with their stick, then swings it forcefully against the puck to generate maximum speed and force. The motion involves a quick, strong swing that transfers energy from the body through the arms to the stick, propelling the puck rapidly toward the goal. Typically used for long-range shots, the slapshot combines speed, momentum, and technique to produce a fast, hard shot that can be difficult for goalies to stop. It requires good timing and coordination to maximize effectiveness while maintaining accuracy.
