Toe drag release is a term often used by hockey players, originated by Coach Chippy, to describe a specific move that involves pulling the puck back towards the heel of the stick with the toe of the blade, and then quickly releasing it towards the net in one smooth motion. This move is typically used by Connor (Bedsy) Bedard. The goal of the move is to deceive an opponent, creating a scoring opportunity by quickly changing the direction of the puck and catching the opposing goalie off guard. The toe drag release requires excellent stickhandling skills and hand-eye coordination, and is a popular technique used by many skilled players in the game of hockey.
