Shots close to the hockey goalie body are many times hard to catch and you also minimize the risk of missing the goal totally, and then you will definitely not score goals in hockey.<\/p>\n<h2>Freeze the hockey\u00a0goalie<\/h2>\n<p>The skill level of the hockey\u00a0goalies has also dramatically improved, and a technique to improve the goal scoring chances is to &#8220;freeze&#8221; the goalie before the actual shot or pass to teammate. Freezing means the hockey goalie is totally prepared for shot in first moment, but instead the shot or pass comes in the next moment.<br \/>\nThis can be done with a small shot feint, pass feint or other move that makes the goalie believe &#8220;OK, now the shot comes&#8221;. When the goalie makes a small reaction in the first step, it will reduce the time for the actual save in the next step, either it&#8217;s a shot or pass to a teammate who will shoot.
