The term 'ice hockey feint' refers to a move in which a player dekes, or fakes out, an opposing player. This is done by quickly changing direction or making a sudden move with the puck, causing the other player to misjudge the situation and be left behind. The term 'DEKE' comes from the French word 'decaler', which means 'to dodge'. Dekeing is an important skill in ice hockey and can be used to create scoring opportunities.
