The hardest shots aren’t just about strength—they’re about how efficiently you transfer energy into the puck.

In this breakdown, Tim Turk explains one of the most overlooked parts of shooting: what your wrists are doing during the release.

Rather than thinking about simply “flicking” the puck, Tim separates the top hand’s movement into two distinct actions—the pull and the wrist snap. When those movements work together, they create cleaner puck rotation, better accuracy, and a more consistent release.

Whether you’re working on your wrist shot or trying to add more deception to your release, understanding what your hands should actually be doing can make every shot more effective.

Sometimes improving your shot isn’t about shooting harder.

It’s about making every movement count.

Andrew Rigsby
14U Goaltender • Team Wyoming

Goaltenders often do their best work without much fanfare.

Andrew Rigsby continues proving that consistency deserves recognition.

Over the past several months, Andrew has steadily built out his Hockey Players Club profile with game footage, saves, and tournament highlights, documenting his development throughout the season. This week, he added another milestone—a shutout at the Northern Plains Development Camp.

What stands out isn’t just one save or one result.

It’s the commitment to documenting the journey.

Every new clip tells a little more of the story, giving coaches, teammates, and the hockey community a chance to watch that progress unfold over time.

Keep building it, Andrew. We can’t wait to see what comes next.

🔥 Thomas Zednik (Slovakia)
One fake shot was all it took. Thomas attacks the defender one-on-one, sells the release, toe-drags around the defender, and finishes with a smooth backhand. A great example of using deception to create your own scoring chance.

🚨 Ryder Baker (West Virginia, USA)
Ryder pulls off a slick shootout move that leaves the goalie on the other side of the crease before finishing the play. Confident hands, great patience, and a move every player wishes they had in the toolbox.

🎯 Aidon Hammel (Florida, USA)
Sometimes there isn’t much net to shoot at. Aidon finds one of the smallest openings available and roofs a backhand short side, showing just how dangerous a quick release and precise placement can be.
