Remember the days where between-the-legs goals in hockey were few and far between?  Nowadays, though, we see a lot more of them due to the fact that players practice them and use them in different game situations.

While some people may not be impressed with goals like the between-the-legs ones, we can't get enough of them because it showcases the skill and creativity of the players when they pull them off.

Another goal that falls into the that category is the lacrosse-style goal, where a player picks the puck up on his stick behind the net and tucks it underneath the bar. 

Some people may think it's be done before, what's the big deal?  Well, the big deal is that it's ridiculously difficult to do in a game, and unlike a between-the-legs goal, you can get called for a high stick, so everything has to go perfectly in order for it to work.

Quinn Ryan of the Liberty University Men's D1 hockey team displayed that Saturday night as he pulled the incredible move off to perfection, and it was an incredible sight to see to say the least.

It takes guts to try that in a game, but when it works, as you can see, it looks spectacular.

Ryan talked about the goal after the game and said that Tyler Ennis of the Sabres inspired him to practice and try it.

 

Quinn and Thompson both recorded hat-tricks on the night to help Liberty beat Rutgers 10-0 for the team's fifth straight win.

In terms of Liberty's leading scorers, Ryan is second on the team with 38 points in 31 games, but we imagine this was the most incredible point he's recorded so far this season.
