| Abstract: | The purpose of this study was to identify the stationary “wrist shot” technique (movement patterns) of the ice hockey stick
that corresponds to the accuracy of puck trajectory. A total of 25 subjects participated in this study, ranging from high
to low caliber players. Each performed ten successful wrist shots at four targets (two top corners, two bottom corners). Performances
were evaluated by recording the movements of the stick’s shaft and blade and of the puck with a 3D motion capture system at
240 Hz. Kinematics of the shaft and blade of the hockey stick were examined using a multiple regression analysis to predict
accuracy scores. In general, the results indicated that accuracy corresponded to release parameters (both puck release orientation
and velocity), shaft bending and change in blade orientations; though, parameter weighting differed substantially for top
versus bottom targets. Future studies are warranted to identify the whole body kinematic patterns associated with the hockey
stick kinematics. |
