For those who don’t know, “The Michigan” is a hockey trick that consists of scooping up the puck with the blade of the stick and tucking it into the net. It is done entirely from behind the net where the player picks up the puck and, in one continuous movement, tucks the puck into the top corner of the goal.

Mike Legg, who played for the University of Michigan in 1996, pulled this trick during a college ice hockey game. This move won him the “play of the year” by several sports broadcasters and magazines. This move has been completed in the Junior rankings and semi-pro leagues but it has not been done successfully in any National Hockey League (NHL) game.
