Train Yourself to Rely Less on Seeing the Puck HockeyVision Training Pucks are a great way to train yourself to rely less and less on seeing the puck, which will then allow you to stickhandle with your head up, enabling you to see more of the play. HockeyVision Training Pucks are white, with a black dot in the middle. The black dot comes in three sizes (large, medium, and small). The idea is to work your way down from the large, more-visible dot to small, less-visible dot, training your eye to not have to see as much of the puck while stickhandling. These pucks are available in on-ice and off-ice models. The on-ice pucks are made of rubber (same as a regulation puck), and the off-ice ones are made of…

The X-Tiles Flooring System Allows you to Build a State of the Art Hockey Training Center, One Piece at a Time! I was recently introduced to a new hockey dryland tile that I'm really excited about. It's called the X-Tile, and it's made by XHockeyProducts (yes, the same company that brought you the X-Passer, and the X-Deviator). If you're familiar with XHockeyProducts, you already know they are famous for designing heavy duty, smart, & functional hockey training equipment... and this product is no different! The X-Tiles are not only an awesome flooring product to give you a slick surface for stickhandling, shooting, and passing, but they're also a fully integrated, hockey training system that works in tandem with many other products! In this review I'll be showing you how the…

Passing: Extreme Passing Kit

Passing: Extreme Passing Kit

The Extreme Passing Kit is a Great Way to Incorporate Passing into your Off-Ice Workouts Passing is a skill that most players don't think about working on away from the rink. The main reason they don't think to work on passing is pretty obvious: because you need a partner to pass to, and to receive passes from... Unless, of course, you have the Extreme Passing Kit. Overview: The Extreme Passing Kit is a really cool skill pad & passing rebounder combo, that will let you work on multiple skills such as regular passes, touch passes, and one-time shots. The Extreme Passing Kit comes in two different models, the One-Timer Model (which you see in this video), and the Bungee Cord Model. The only difference between the two is that the…

Stickhandling: FlyPuck Review

Coaches' Corner, Hockey Equipment, Individual Skills, Off-ice Training, Puckhandling, Skills, Useful Products
The FlyPuck is a Great Tool for Achieving an "On-ice" Feel, While Off the Ice! Over the past few years, a number of off-ice hockey pucks have made their way onto the scene. Initially, most of these pucks were designed to be used for roller hockey, with the intent of using them on a SportCourt surface. Some of these pucks worked ok, some of them not as well... but at the end of the day none of them REALLY did what we needed them to do. Requirements For an off-ice puck to be an effective tool for stickhandling development, it has to have the same weight and feel as a real puck does on the ice, and it also has to behave like a real puck does on the ice.…

Stickhandling: Dryland Flooring Tiles

Coaches' Corner, Hockey Equipment, Individual Skills, Off-ice Training, Passing, Puckhandling, Shooting, Skills, Useful Products
Dryland Flooring Tiles are one of the Most Versatile Hockey Products on the Market Today In this post, I wanted to introduce an extremely effective and versatile product, HockeyShot's Dryland Flooring Tiles. The reason I say this is such a versatile product is that you can literally design your "floor plan" to fit your training objectives. This might mean using six or eight tiles as a shooting pad, or it might mean going wall to wall with them in your basement for a fully functional stickhandling, passing, and shooting facility. Not only are the flooring tiles versatile in how they can be used, but you also get a lot of flexibility when it comes to timeline. You don't have to outfit your whole room all at once... These tiles are…
