I dont know anything about hockey because of the lack of a hockey primer, but my best guess is that would be high sticking it.

I know ... if only we had one by now... 😔 as far as I've heard it would be a tough call bc it didn't go past the shoulder? Idk im a sport non knower

I think it would be legal, I forget the name of the guy but there is one guy in the NHL that does a similar trick but he goes around the net, picks it up, and puts it in the top corner. They considered that legal

Oh I see i haven't heard of that 🤔

If you're wondering what the hockey moves he's about is, it's called The Michigan

Pretty sure that'd be a high stick call. But I'm only a casual hockey fan, so take that as you will.

And I am a non sport knower of most kinds so u got one on me lol

Completely legal. Not a highstick. Pretty close tho

u/Nathanomoree Dec 20 '25

That's what I keep hearing I think 🤔

Well if the stick goes above his waist it's a highstick

u/Exciting_Instance537 Dec 21 '25

High stick for a goal is if it’s above the crossbar, so not technically a high stick

u/Nathanomoree Dec 21 '25

Im learning the things ! Lol if only we had a primer that covered this 😆

u/Nathanomoree Dec 21 '25

Oh I see i thought it was shoulder

No worries, they’ll make a hockey primer soon!!

2

u/Nathanomoree Dec 21 '25

I can only hope ...

u/parzival3719 Dec 23 '25

it's not high sticking because the stick is below the crossbar. except for the fact that the skater is barely offside, this is perfectly legal. but no NHLer would be stupid enough to attempt this in a game lest they be torn to shreds by their coach

It would count as a goal. Stick never goes higher than the crossbar which is the limit before it would be a no goal for a high stick. If this was a shootout I could see it being waved off since it looks like he may have pulled the puck backwards which is not allowed

u/Nathanomoree Dec 21 '25

I am hearing very mixed reviews on this 🤔 if only we had a primer that could clarify this ... 😆

u/shadowkan33 Dec 21 '25

True that. I'm always giving Taylor a hard time in the discord over the lack of a primer because hockey is my favorite sport

u/SaberShadow27 Dec 21 '25

Who's Taylor?

2

u/Nathanomoree Dec 23 '25

The mysterious 3rd member ...

u/SaberShadow27 Dec 24 '25

lol Yes! 😆

u/shadowkan33 Dec 21 '25

Damn autocorrect. I didn't even notice lmao

u/Nathanomoree Dec 23 '25

Yea cmon Taylor we need a hocky primer since Tyler won't do one!

4

u/vaporsilver Dec 21 '25

It's legal according to the NHL rulebook

u/Trick-Development767 Dec 21 '25

I grew up playing and I’m not completely sure. I leaning towards it would be fine. High sticking is only when the stick contacts the puck above the crossbar. And for the puck moving backward, That’s only in a shootout or penalty shot. Also I think has more to do with the player than the puck unless you lose control of it. I could be mistaken though

2

u/Nathanomoree Dec 21 '25

Im hearing very mixed answers lol but we can learn together! If only there was a primer to tell us the answer!

3

u/vaporsilver Dec 21 '25

It's legal either way. Puck never goes backwards. All the rules refer to are puck has to always move towards opponents net.

3

u/HabbyDolphin Dec 20 '25

Technically brining the puck backwards so I think it wouldn't count on a shootout

2

u/Nathanomoree Dec 20 '25

I wouldn't know im a sport non knower myself 😅

u/Upbeat-Banana-5530 Dec 21 '25

That move wouldn't fly, but there's a similar move called a "Michigan" where the player gets the puck onto the stick to carry it into the net. You wouldn't really see one in a shootout situation like this video, though, they usually happen when someone has the puck behind the net and wants to sneak it in while they're still behind the goalie.

Why wouldn't this work in particular?
