Shot on goal

In every sport there are two main types of shots. There are those shots that make it into the goal and those shots that do not make it into the goal. A shot on goal in the game of hockey is an attempt at making a shot that would have made it in as a shot if not for the efforts of the goalie. A shot on goal can result in only two things: a goal that makes it or a save by the goalie.

Many people make the mistake of thinking that a shot on goal is always a shot that makes it or always a shot that is saved by the goalie; real hockey fanatics know that it can be either or.
