STICK POSITIONING
The stick should be firmly held with the blade flat on the ice about a foot in front of
the skates to help cushion rebounds. The stick should be centered between the
skates to cover the opening between the legs on the ice.
Hold the stick with a trigger grip to help prevent the stick from spinning on a hard
shot. Your index finger should be extended down the face of the paddle.
