Shots on Goal
A shot on goal is defined as only those shots that will enter the goal if the
goaltender does not protect the goal. A shot which is deflected, batted away or otherwise prevented from entering the goal is a shot on goal only if that shot would have entered the goal had it not been for the goaltenders save. If that shot would not have entered the goal had the goaltender not interfered with the shot, it is not a shot on goal. Goals count as shots on goal. 

• Each shot is documented on the score sheet by placing a slash through the numbers (1-36) on the bottom of the form.
• The home team shots should be documented on the home team side of the form.
• The visitor shots should be documented on the visitor side of the form.
• A vertical line should be drawn on the form after the last shot of each period. This helps determine how many shots occurred for each period.

Between Periods

• Summarize the goals scored for each period in the “Goal Summary” section at the bottom of the form.
• Summarize the number of saves the goalie made per period in the “Goalie Saves” section at the bottom of the form.
