And it begins!!

Hello Hockey Fans, Enthusiasts, Players, Coaches, Trainers and Parents. This blog will be an open forum to discuss hockey training from every aspect. First topic, training aids to build skating speed, power and agility.

Why previous resistance training aids have failed in the past:

·         Parachutes: Take too long to inflate and the skater only gets a few strides in before running out of ice. No Ability to change the resistance.

·         Weighted body chest apparatus: Throws off the center of gravity when the skater is in the natural power skating position. No Ability to change the resistance

·         Resistance cords: Limited length of movement, pulls the skater out of the natural skating position as the cord begins to stretch, only focuses minimal resistance on the leg muscles and No Ability to change the resistance

·         Skate weights: Doesn’t apply resistance to the stride muscles. It only adds minimal weight to the leg muscles while making a stride. No Ability to change the resistance.

·        Weighted hockey stick: Only focuses on building the wrists and forearms and doesn’t apply any resistance while making a stride.

Why the HockeySled is the Ultimate Resistance Training Device to hit the market!

The HockeySled provides resistance to all the major skating muscles while making a power skating stride while keeping the skater in the natural skating position. It also targets and builds the wrists, forearms, upper-body while strengthening the skaters CORE. You can change the resistance from a minimum 8 pounds up to 100 pounds by simply adding or empting water. With the option of pushing or pulling the HockeySled the skater will have resistance while skating backwards, forwards, crossovers, stick handling and transitions drills. The HockeySled is available in two models, the On-Ice and the Off-Ice. This allows the skater to be able to get the ultimate power skating workout on any surface from ice, synthetic ice, pavement to even grass.
