Tip Of The Week
The Tip-In:
There are a number of different types of tip-in techniques. For those of you at Friday's lesson we focused on the stationary forehand/backhand tip-in technique. Check out the Hockey Canada video below to see other types of tip-in technique. These will be covered in subsequent lessons.
Like any other skill, this takes practice and requires good eye-hand coordination (something you can practice as well). Most goals are not scored from the top of the circle, 'top shelf' (where most players LIKE to score because it looks cool and is dramatic) but from the front of the net, 1-3 feet in front of the goalie in either a mad scramble, on a rebound, or from...you guessed it.....a TIP IN. Hence why the tip in is a critical skill if you want to score goals!
Enjoy.
