Toe Drag

Same as a curl and drag, a hockey player uses the toe of his or her stick to draw the puck back when the opponent attempts to swat the puck away.

I toe dragged the crap outta my co-workers at puck last night.

A nice toe drag can not only get you around a defenseman with a basic move, but also leaves you in shooting position immediatly.

Toe Drag Release

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.

reverse toe drag

A reverse toe drag, or "RTD", is one of the most challenging moves in hockey. Similar to a toe drag, one uses the toe of the hockey blade to dangle a hockey puck. Disimilar to a toe drag, a reverse toe drag uses the back hand side of the blade. This contorts ones wrist and makes protecting oneself from a fatal hit difficult. In addition, retaining the puck and maintaing control is very hard.

Most attempts to successfully preform a RTD are met by a firm shoulder.
When done properly, a jock may be found on the ice near the scene of the dangle.

You should have seen Oscar’s nice toe drag last night. I love the way that guy sets it up then scores five-hole.

He’s okay on the ice too.
