Glove side post
!
Place the skate up against the post with the boot of your skate jammed
against the post. The leg pad should be flush to the post without any gaps,
especially at the knee. Smart shooters try to hit that little hole so don't get
surprised.
!
Your skates should point towards centre ice and your glove arm should
be outside the post so you can anchor yourself to the post. The glove can be
used to catch quick little flip passes in the air. The stick is held flat on the ice
square to the puck. Notice that the stick is placed with the heel just off of the
glove side skate. This is very important because you can accidentally score on
yourself if that stick is out in front of your body.
