The Toe Drag Shot

What It Is: The toe drag shot is a high-skill move that creates space and surprises defenders or goalies. It involves pulling the puck in close with the toe of your stick before quickly releasing a shot.

How to Do It: Use the toe of your stick blade to drag the puck back, pulling it away from a defender or goalie. As you create separation, quickly snap the shot into open space.

When to Use It: Ideal for deking defenders, maneuvering around their stick, and catching goalies off guard with a deceptive release—especially in one-on-one situations.
