Skate Sharpening and Equipment
We use the E-S4 automated sharpening system, the same technology trusted by NHL teams, to deliver a consistent, precise edge every single time. No guesswork, no inconsistency. Just a perfect sharpen matched to your skating style and preferences.
Treadmill Skating Training
Our treadmill training program is one of the most effective ways to develop your skating stride off the ice, with real time professional feedback. All of our trainers are Kinesiology graduates, so every athlete receives professional biomechanical instruction and stride analysis.
How It Works
Skaters are led through progressive drills by athletic training professionals based on their current skill level. These drills improve biomechanical positioning while executing a proper stride.
Trainers watch and instruct as the player skates on the synthetic ice in real time, and on a delayed video monitor to analyze the stride after each interval. With trainer instruction, correction and video feedback, athletes can make corrections that suit every learning style.
Treadmill training is high intensity interval training with one on one attention from a trainer and periods of rest. The interval format mimics a fast paced hockey game while enforcing constant correction on the synthetic ice. Skaters learn to use their body effectively and efficiently, and carry those skills into real game situations.
When to Expect Results
Research based programs show that you can expect to see physiological and technical adaptation (muscle memory) by the 8th training session when training consistently. Most of our skaters notice changes in their stride after their very first session, once they learn basic skating mechanics. The greatest results come from athletes committed to the process.
