In 1996, University of Michigan ice hockey player Mike Legg pulled off what was described as a “lacrosse-style” goal in an NCAA playoff game. But, for as quickly as the never-before-seen motion burst onto the scene, it disappeared until 2019 when Carolina Hurricanes right wing Andrei Svechnikov executed the move in a game. Players began rushing to develop the technique, which has now become a legitimate scoring threat used by pros and youth players alike.

Svechy!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥#LetsGoCanes
Great video!
Great video! ❤❤ 🏒🥅
incredible goal but it's losing its flare. It's overused now and if it was only done like once a year it would be legendary
Cringe
Mikael Grandlund deserves some credit for putting the Michigan back into the public spotlight in 2011 during the World Championships against Russia
It is called airhook and not an American invention.
Boomers be like Oh sure, it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye!
Great piece, but how do you not show Nela in this feature? It's her header picture on EliteProspects.
Anyway, let's go Canes, call it the Svech if you want to. Great job, ESPN.
The Svechnikov!!! 🥍🥍🥍

Ole Sergei Svechnikov, really?
