Most goals in hockey are scored from the area in front of the net that looks like a baseball home plate:

1) Take a look before you get the puck so you know where your players are 2) Don’t make blind passes 3) Don’t pass the puck through the middle (unless you are 1000% sure, and even then be double sure) 4) Make plays quickly – hesitating gives the other team time to read your play and break it up 5) Make direct passes – get your head up, look where you are passing, and send it hard
