Hockey Slideshow Write-up

Duffy and I focused on hockey moves, also known as dekes or dangles. Some of the most famous dekes have been done. The dekes in the photos are some through the legs. These are some of the best ways to score in floor hockey.
Dangles, dekes, and stick-handling are all moves made to embarrass the opposing player by using stick handling to get past them. They are usually done by advanced players usually.
Some of the most notorious dekes were done through the legs. An example of this would be Pavel Datsyuk and Patrick Kane dekes.
These dekes are some of the finest, but they can help fine tune a player’s ability to stick-handle. Once a player learns how to stick handle they can move on to more advanced moves. A great example is the one handed Peter Forsberg dangle. He did this dangle during the 1994 Olympics to help seal the victory over Canada.
Each dangle is specific for a specific time, such as the Forsberg dangle was specifically to target the opposing goaltender. This will increase the chances of the player scoring and getting more goals to add to their statistics. Other dangles are moves to get around defensemen and forwards. These dekes are usually holding the stick out in one hand, and also sometimes a through the legs kick pass to yourself.
Most of these dangles are self passes or moves to evade the defense; they are usually some of the best attempts in order to make a great attempt at a shot on net.
Dangles, dekes, and stick handling are some of the most important parts of the hockey game. Make sure to look for them during a hockey game, while you are watching one of course. They are one of the most exciting plays and can sometimes make the player look foolish (on defense, or if the player who tries to make the deke gets checked to the ice).

Dangling, deking and stick-handling is one of the most crucial parts of a hockey game, as it is supposed to keep the opposing team from knowing what exactly you are going to do.
