The BLADE treadmill training centres allow us to add another element to this sensory training experience.  We are now able to create the FEELING of proper stride for your player(s).  With the use of four live video feeds, all from different angles, a large 6’ x 8’ mirror, and one-2-one coaching, we can now engage multiple senses for players.  The video allows players to see their true movement while the coaches encourage them into proper technique.  This assists the players in recognizing the FEELING of proper stride, rather than just knowing what it looks like or trying to interpret only by how a coach explains it.

Straight line skating: 
Proper technical skating means additional speed and efficiency.

Acceleration training:
The treadmill size allows for quick start and power generation training.

Balance and Body Control:
The use of technology visually shows players proper motion.

Backwards stride:
Advanced skaters will learn to generate speed while increasing agility in transition.

Transition/Lateral skating:
Gives players the confidence to move laterally, versus always skating and turning.

Puck & Ring handling in stride:
Physically training hands to work with feet as puck/ring can be handled on treadmill while striding (videos upon request)

Shooting in stride:
Learn coordination in a control environment to shoot the ring while in full stride.

Conditioning:
A beneficial by-product of our stride development training  

Scientific studies have shown that after only 8 treadmill training sessions, male/female hockey players showed increased foot speed and leg strength resulting in a 10% increase in explosive power (Harriss, 2010).  During this same 8-week training program, players significantly increased their skating speed and reduced on-ice sprinting times (Lockwood, 2010).

To facilitate the most comprehensive training experience we studied how young athletes optimally learn & develop. 

As a large on-ice development company, we take advantage of using video for our on-ice training whenever possible.  The opportunity for players to see themselves in motion irrefutably has its beneficial elements for refining a player’s stride.

The BLADE treadmill training centres allow us to add another element to this sensory training experience.  We are now able to create the FEELING of proper stride for your player(s).  With the use of four live video feeds, all from different angles, a large 6’ x 8’ mirror, and one-2-one coaching, we can now engage multiple senses for players.  The video allows players to see their true movement while the coaches encourage them into proper technique.  This assists the players in recognizing the FEELING of proper stride, rather than just knowing what it looks like or trying to interpret only by how a coach explains it.

The evolution of learning the FEELING of proper stride to that FEELING turning into a natural habit has accelerated player’s development multiple times over when compared to simply on-ice training.

Our goal for the treadmill player development program is to provide a controlled environment that will both challenge and consistently develop players throughout each session.  We have established a program that focuses on encouraging players to achieve their goals.  Our program suits each age/skill level and is designed to complement team practices and development goals.

1. Training sessions come as LOW RATION intense 30 minute sessions that have 1 to 1 work to rest ratios adding an element of conditioning, while we also offer slightly larger group sessions with a max of 4 players during a 60 minute training session simulating the work to rest ratios of a traditional game.

2. Players wear their lower gear to give the realistic feel

3. As players progress through our training protocols their plan will adjust based on their skill/age
