Bedard, Legs, Shot power!

- Connor Bedard’s shooting mechanics are unlike anything we’ve seen in hockey today. One key to his unique and powerful shot lies in how he uses his left leg as a post, pushing off his inside edge to generate massive energy. This motion straightens the leg, rotates his hips, and loads his stick for an explosive release.
In this video, we break down the biomechanics behind Bedard’s shot, comparing it to techniques used in golf swing rotation into the lead hip. You’ll also learn how other NHL stars like Auston Matthews and Alex Ovechkin incorporate similar principles into their shots. Whether you’re a player, coach, or fan, understanding this sequence will elevate your appreciation for Bedard’s mastery and help you improve your own game.

Ur doing the rough leg
Rough leg?

Thank you for the comment and the Bible verse! I am also a believer. I have a passion for coaching and teaching we will see where God leads.
@ Amen brother keep doing this God has and will bless you ❤️🔥❤️✝️
this type of shot loading is most certainly not unique to Bedard, and it's calling shooting of a C-cut, very common way to shoot that all pros are using. Except it somehow gets frown upon by all the shooting coaching purists since technically a C-cut takes you sideways so you aren't gliding towards your target following your shot. So guys like Tim Turk way the front leg must be pointing straight @ the target, which of course makes any rotation of that leg practically impossible since it's not on any edge.
Thanks for the comment! I could’ve worded this better, but I agree-Bedard definitely isn’t the only player who shoots like this. Ovechkin often likes to shoot off his inside edge, especially on one-timers. That said, Bedard does seem to use this technique more frequently than most other players. For example, Matthews tends to shoot with his foot more straight, like you mentioned.
At the end of the day, these guys have a ton of tools in their toolbox. To be effective, you need to be able to shoot off your inside edge, outside edge, left foot, and right foot. That said, I wouldn’t say Bedard is doing a true C-cut here. A C-cut is a pretty distinct semicircular movement, and what he’s doing is more of a weight transition. He starts in a wide base, shifts his weight briefly onto his inside edge, and his leg pops out straight almost immediately after. Because this happens so quickly, it doesn’t seem like his momentum really changes.
