Question

"Shots On Goal"...what does this mean? How many points?

Answer 1

A shot on goal is a shot that would have entered the net, had the goalie not been there.

Shots that go wide, or hit the post, do not count as a shot on goal.  Actual goals, since they do enter the net, do count as shots on goals.

They're just a statistic used to determine goalies' save percentages, and are often used to gauge which team has more offensive chances or control. (though this can be misleading).

Answer 2

well a shot on goal is when you take a shot at a golie

Answer 3

a shot on goal is when a player hits the ball towards the goal.

if the shot goes in the goal its a goal but if not then it is referred to as a shot on goal. there are no points but in alot of sports its a good thing to have lots of shots on goal because that means there are alot of scoring chances.

hope this helps.
