SAVE    the act of a goalie in blocking or stopping a shot. SCRAMBLE    several players from both sides close together battling for possession of the puck. SCREEN SHOT    a shot on goal that the goalie cannot see because it was taken from behind one or   more players from either team standing in front of the net. SHOOTING ANGLE    the angle determined by the position of the shooting player in relation to the goal at the moment he shoots the puck. SHORTHANDED    a team with one or more players off the ice in the penalty box when the opponent has its full complement of 6 players; also a power play for the other team. SHOT ON GOAL (SOG)    a scoring attempt that is successfully blocked or otherwise prevented by a goalie; a save. SHOULDER DEKE    a quick move of the shoulder in one direction and the player in another to fake out the opponent. SLAP SHOT    a shot in which the player raises his stick in a backswing, with his strong hand held low on the shaft and his other hand on the end as a pivot. Then as the stick comes down toward the puck, the player leans into the stick to put all his power behind the shot and add velocity to the puck; achieves an extremly high speed (up to 120 miles per hour) but is less accurate that a wrist shot. SLASHING    a minor penalty which occurs when a player swings his stick from below his shoulder at an opponent to impede his motion, whether or not contact is made; if injury is caused it becomes a major penalty and a game misconduct. SLEEPER    an attacking player who slips into the center or neutral zone behind the attacking defensemen; same as a floater or a hanger. SOLO    a rush by a player without assistance from a teammate. SPEARING    a major penalty which occurs when a player illegally jabs the point of his stick blade into another player's body; one of the most serious infractions a player can commit; results in an automatic game misconduct. STICK DEKE    when a player's stick is moved as though for a shot, but instead the player moves the puck past the defending player; done to fake out the opponent. STICKHANDLING    moving the puck along the ice with the stick blade. SUBSTITUTION    occurs when a player comes off the bench to replace a player coming out of the game; can be made at any time and play does not need to stop. SUDDEN-DEATH OVERTIME    an overtime period that ends as soon as one team scores a goal, determining the winner and terminating the game. SWEEP CHECK    a check made by a player with one hand on the stick, and one knee so low it is almost on the ice, with the shaft and blade of the stick flat on the ice to take the puck away from an opponent.
