How's your shooting? Can you hit the broad side of a barn? Do you need lift, power, speed?

Basic shooting instruction from how to hold your stick, to the importance of footwork, and the transfer of  energy. Warm-up will start with some stationary drills, but be ready to skate.

The speed will pick up to receiving a pass on the move while releasing quick shots.  Goalies are appreciated!
