This post is going to help the offensive player read the goalie and make more productive shots on the net. Fingering out the goalie is important in making your shots go in so here are some helpful tips.
If the he/she stays deep in the crease shot whenever you have an open shoot. If he/she challenges you try to get around them. If he/she gives out high rebounds shot low and hard. If his/her hands are back, shoot for the high corners. If he/she goes down early get him/her to go down by faking then shot at blocker side high. If he/she has a high stance go for the five hole. If he/she putshis/her paddle down on the ice allot go for high blocker or go around him/her. A goalie that drops on most shots is more vulnerable on giving up rebounds instead of high shots.
I hope these tips help you read the goalie and make more goals.

Ice Hockey Offense Strategy - Part One
The offense's key job is to make goals and get their own rebounds. Here are some tips on what to look for and when and where to shot on the goalie.
When shooting the puck remember angle is more important than distance because a good angle from the top of the circle has a better chance of going in then a shot closer up by the goalie. When your up close on the goalie he/she has a better chance of stopping the puck because he/she has a less restricted view of the puck and more time to react. If you don't have a good shot and no other option then shoot the puck to get a rebound by shooting low and hard. If you are at a bad angle shoot at the high post not at the goalies chest this gives you a better chance of making it in the net. Also try to shoot on the blocker side just above the pad of goalie because your chances of making it in are much greater.
Accuracy and a quick release are very important in making a goal because when the puck is to slow the goalie has time to save it and when your shot is not accurate your going to miss the net or end up shooting it at the goalies chest for him/her to save it. A quick release gives the goalie less time to react to where the puck is going and this gives you a better chance of making it into the net. Also if you have anything that look like an open net shot don't think about it just shoot.
If you are not a great skater or stick handler go in front of the net to tip in a shot, deflect it, or get the rebound. You will also be able to screen the goalie and draw a defense men to you away from the shooter. Always remember to have your stick on the ice and ready for the puck.
