The AM34 release is one of the most copied shots in hockey right now, and for good reason. Cole Caufield and Connor Bedard both built it into their goal scoring. New stick technology has exploded shooting ability, but common coaching advice has not yet caught up.
In this video we break down the three components of the snap shot that made Auston Matthews one of the most prolific goal scorers in the NHL, and how it sits on top of the Downhill Skating fundamentals.
If you have been working on your wrist shot or snap shot and hit a wall, this is usually the missing piece. Want to go deeper? That is what the Slingshot Shooting System is for.

The Downhill Skating System is the mechanics-first approach that unlocks effortless, controlled speed on the ice without extra conditioning, pushing, or "trying harder." Inspired by the movement signatures of Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Quinn Hughes, and other elite NHL skaters, it teaches you to move with gravity, using your body's own stretch shortening cycles alongside efficient footwork and skating mechanics.
By using counter rotation, proper joint angles, and natural momentum, you move faster with less effort.
Inside Train 2.0+ you'll learn to:
- Unlock the inner spring for better acceleration.
- Use direction changes that keep you deceptive and hold your optionality.
- Build NHL superstar mechanics, instead of repatterning the wrong movements.
- Turn these mechanics into in game assets, completely changing your player DNA and development trajectories.
