Toe Drag
In what cases is the expression toe drag applied in hockey?
What style of play was named the toe drag?
What is considered the toe drag in ice hockey?
Toe Drag is when the puck carrier drags the puck along the ice with the toe (open) end of the hockey stick blade faced down to keep it away from an opponent.
The toe drag is an excellent way to control and protect the puck when moving around defenders. It is a fine motor skill maneuver that is exciting to watch when executed by the pros.
The key area of emphasis is to use the top hand and wrist on the hockey stick to rotate the stick blade, and use the bottom hand to guide and pull the puck in toward the body.
