The hockey player lifted the puck onto the hook and threw it behind the goalkeeper. A similar goal is quite common with junior leagues. In the Continental Hockey League in this style Sergey Shumakov twice threw. The most famous “lacrosse goal” was scored by Michael Granlund in the semifinal match of the World Cup between the national teams of Sweden and Russia.

It was previously reported that the Svechnikov take helped Carolina defeat Calgary in the NHL.
