Puck Reception
The RapidShot Hockey Training System provides an unparalleled passing rate. Up to 800 passes per hour allows you to develop this “feel for the puck”. The evaluation of each shot gives you the understanding that you can only perform your best with good puck reception

Reaction Time
On the ice, in the heat of a game, you must find the spot on the net that the goalie "gives you". The faster you perform this task, the harder it is for the goalie to make the save.

The RapidShot Hockey Training System simulates the least covered corners of the net, randomly lighting up one of four lamps just as you receive the pass. This forces you to have the goal in your field of vision while receiving the pass. The time from receiving the puck until it leaves the blade is measured with high precision. The reaction time is displayed on the monitor for each shot, as well as your average for the current series.

Puck Speed
All other factors being equal, the faster the puck speed the harder it is to save. The puck speed depends on multiple variables; having the right stick, your physical strength. But the most important is a highly developed and consistent technique.

By having immediate feedback and the maximum rate of repetition within the shortest period of time, the RapidShot Hockey Training System allows you to learn the best technique. You can learn to optimize your puck speed, without sacrificing reaction time or accuracy. Your puck speed is displayed on the monitor immediately after a target is hit, along with the average puck speed of the current series.

Accuracy
Only RapidShot makes it possible for the player and coach to evaluate accuracy, by observing the shooting statistics recorded in each corner. RapidShot stats can identify strengths and weaknesses, by corner. In addition, each of the four corners of the goal is subdivided into 3 target sections, blue, green and yellow. The blue targets are the hardest to cover by the goalie. They result in the highest score when they are hit, but represent the highest risk of hitting the post or missing the goal.

The user is shown his precise level of accuracy immediately and in long-term evaluations right at the lane monitor, and also at the member site on the Internet.

The Evaluation System
The RapidShot formula calculates a value from reaction time, puck speed and accuracy, also taking into consideration the adjustable pass speed and pass interval. These RapidShot points represent the probability of scoring on ice for each shot.

RapidHands is a unique hockey training system that improves vision and stickhandling by providing a fun way to train while encouraging sound fundamentals through consistent feedback and scoring.

This training system uses sensors embedded in synthetic ice to track the movement of the puck. When the system asks a player to stickhandle over a specific target, the puck activates the sensor, informing the software that the maneuver has been performed.  It also allows players to work on their transition from stick handling to passing on both sides of the stick.   

Scores are recorded, performance is measured and feedback is provided to gauge the player’s progress and shows how they rank with respect to their peers.

Rapid Hands forces players to keep their head up to watch the screen while they stick handle. 

A. Every shooting or stick handling series consists of 16 shots on the RapidShot or 16 targets on the RapidHands

C. When one Series is completed, the average of 16 shots/targets makes the series result.

D. The best 3-Series Results makes up the Day Result. Therefore, to improve the Day Result, the player must surpass the 3rd best Series Result.

E. Over the long term, all results are sorted by points. The average of the best 3-Day Results make the Year Result, which is recorded in the World Rankings.

F. The player has an excellent overall view at any time because the relevant data is displayed on the monitor and can be reviewed at home on the Internet.

To sum it up: The RapidShot Hockey Training System provides feedback: by showing results at each stage of the training session. Now players can set specific, measurable objectives.

A maximum of 3 players will rotate through the shooting & stick handling systems, during a standard 30-minute booking. This booking is a shared training session where players will rotate through as outlined below:

Player 1 - RapidShot Shooting Series x 2 - 16 shots per series 

Players 2 & 3 - RapidHands Stickhandling – both players alternating turns through a 16 target series per turn

When Player 1 has completed their shooting sequence, Player 2 will rotate to become the shooter with Player 3 rotating to be shooter after Player 2. This rotation will continue for the full duration of the training session.

It is estimated that each group of three should complete the rotation 3-4 times in a standard training session OR complete between 96 & 128 shots and active stickhandling for approx. 8-10 minutes.

The byproduct of this very physically demanding circuit is that players are not only being trained while well rested but will progressively need to focus more throughout their training session as fatigue similar to a game increases.
