Wraparounds work when the goalie overcommits to one side or when a player has enough speed to get the puck around the post before the goalie reacts. They can also create rebounds that teammates can score on.
Wraparound
Skating behind the net and trying to wrap the puck around the post into the goal.
More in general
Top shelf
The upper part of the net, just under the crossbar. Scoring top shelf is considered a skilled shot because it requires accuracy and the ability to elevate the puck quickly. The phrase top shelf where mama hides the cookies is a classic hockey expression.
Deke
A deceptive move to fake out a defender or goalie. The word comes from decoy. Dekes can involve moving the puck from forehand to backhand, faking a shot, or using your body to sell a move in one direction while going another. The best dekes look effortless because the player has practiced them until they are automatic.
