The original off-season benchmark — free printable tracking sheet plus a live app for real-time competition.
The 10,000 Shot Challenge is a simple off-season goal: take 10,000 shots away from the rink — driveway, garage, or basement — over a summer. It became a staple of youth hockey development because it turns "practice more" into one concrete, countable target. Most players spread it across 8 weeks, about 1,250 shots a week, or roughly 180 a day if you shoot most days.
It's popular with U13–U18 players. For U9–U11, the 5,000 Shot Elite Challenge is a better first target — clean mechanics matter more than volume.
| Week | Shots this week | Running total | Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | 1,250 | 1,250 | Clean mechanics — weight transfer & follow-through |
| Week 2 | 1,250 | 2,500 | Quick release |
| Week 3 | 1,250 | 3,750 | Change the shooting angle |
| Week 4 | 1,250 | 5,000 | Halfway 🥈 — snap shot power |
| Week 5 | 1,250 | 6,250 | Catch-and-release |
| Week 6 | 1,250 | 7,500 | Backhands |
| Week 7 | 1,250 | 8,750 | Off-balance & in-stride shots |
| Week 8 | 1,250 | 10,000 | Finish 🏆 — game-speed reps |
About 208 a day across 6 days — or 1,250 a week, however you split it. New to this? The 5,000 Shot Elite Challenge is a gentler first goal.
