What is hockey snap shot?

The hockey snap shot is a quick and powerful shot that is widely used in ice hockey. This shot is designed to be taken in one swift motion, with the player transferring weight from back to front foot and snapping the puck towards the net with their stick. It is primarily used from the mid-range and is often taken while skating or on the move. The snap shot is effective because of its speed, precision and ability to catch the opposition goalie off guard. It is also a low-risk option since it doesn't require a lot of time or space to execute. Some notable players known for their snap shots include Alex Ovechkin, Auston Matthews and Steven Stamkos.
