The Four Obstacles Of A Hockey Player

The hockey player has to rotate his trunk, hips, and shoulders to make the stick accelerate forward and downward until the blade comes in contact with the ice about 4 inches behind the puck, again creating torque. The hockey player must accelerate his stick to a maximum stick during this phase before contacting the puck, using angular velocity effectively. The Four inches is believed to be the best distance because it reduces the amount the stick can be loaded without breaking the shaft.
