What is a skill that a hockey defender must master? That's long-range shooting! Don't look at the small goal on the ice rink, but the ice balls that are played are often as fast as bullets, and it is difficult to react no matter how small the goal is. This is not in the first Beijing Evening News 100 Teams Cup Ice Hockey Invitational Tournament on January 16, when Yang Haozhe, the defender of the Wing Xiang Warriors Andys, scored a groundbreaking long-range shot in the game to help the team once lead the strongest dream team in this game.

Although this game was the first meeting between the two teams in the first 100-team cup ice hockey tournament, these two teams have previously played in many ice hockey tournaments. According to Yang Haozhe, the Dream ACE team is very strong, and in his impression, the Wing Xiang Warriors Andcians have never defeated their opponents, and only once fought to a draw but still lost in the penalty shootout. So in this game, the members of the Wing Xiang Warriors Wonders team are holding a low posture and fighting for their opponents.
This mentality played a role, the Wing Xiang Warriors Wonders insisted on defensive counterattack, and sure enough, shortly after the opening, they seized a counterattack opportunity, the attacking player passed the ball to the opponent's goal, the dream ACE team goalkeeper accidentally slammed the ball into his own door, and the Wing Xiang Warriors Wonders took a 1-0 lead!
Although the dream ACE team soon equalized, in the second quarter of the game, the No. 98 player Yang Haozhe decided to stand up, he received a return pass from his teammate on the right, and then decisively swung a long-range shot, the ice ball straight into the goal, the speed of the opposing goalkeeper did not react. The ice hockey balls hit the net, and the Winged Warriors Surprise team took a 2-1 lead again! Yang Haozhe's teammates came forward to celebrate with him, and the goal was not only beautiful, but also important.
However, this goal also inspired the morale of the Dream ACE team, and as the physical strength of the Winged Warriors Wonders decreased, the Dream ACE team gradually took over the game and eventually won the game 6-2.
Yang Haozhe in the game
After the game, Yang Haozhe said that although the strength is indeed inferior to the other side, there is still some loss after losing, he said: "The long-range shot I scored today is beautiful, I am very happy, which also stems from the teammates working together." I'm a defender and long-range shooting is what I usually focus on training the most. Although the game was lost, we still have several games to go, and we have to adjust our mentality and continue to work hard. ”
Born in 2009, Yang Haozhe has been playing ice hockey for nearly 7 years, and Yang Haozhe's mother said: "Over the years when my child has played ice hockey, his body has become stronger, his personality has become more and more cheerful, and he knows more about teamwork and communication with people, which is the most gratifying place for me." ”
