EHS Training System

WELCOME to the Elite Hockey Shooting site!

This site is dedicated to the art of  Shooting and Scoring. Like all primary sports skills ranging from pitching and batting for baseball to putting and driving for golf,  shooting a hockey puck is a highly specialized skill often taken for granted. In the development marketplace, shooting ranks quite low with the primary focus being on skating and often the secondary focus being on stickhandling skills. However, when it comes to money earned, the art of shooting and scoring contribute the most with top point producers earning the most. Often people think of shooting and scoring as separate “abilities” with shooting being a learned skill and scoring being primarily a “gift”. The game is all about scoring; the score clock, the goal judges, the goal tenders, and the two points awarded for a win. Are they really different? It is a good question and the answer is yes.  Often, people that shoot well are not goal scorers and there are players that rack up points that are not great shooters. What then is the difference.

Shooting can really be broken down into the following categories:

  • Accuracy – is the ability to continually hit a target.
  • Velocity – can be described as the speed of the shot.
  • Deception – ability to hide when, where or what shot will be taken.
  • Tactics – describes the strategies of shooting; where to shoot, why to shoot to a specific location, when to shoot, knowing how to open up holes, etc.
  • Management – describes risk and future opportunity. For example a shooter may shoot to a specific location early in a shift but a different on late in a shift or, may shoot high from bad angles to establish shot tendencies and then shoot low when in prime scoring position. It can also describe shooting to goal tender’s weaknesses as opposed to a shooter’s strengths (save high glove).

The EHS Training system is a very comprehensive program designed to walk players; whether beginner or professional through the mechanical principles of shooting to the integration of these skill elements in scoring. One must not forget that clearing a puck out of the zone is indeed shooting as is saucer passing, flat passing, dumping the puck into the zone, etc and as such shooting is in essence the art of propelling a puck.
