Develop Stickhandling Abilities with the X-Deviator I've mentioned this before, but there are a number of skills that can easily be developed off the ice. I'm a strong believer that players who don't take advantage of off-ice training time are leaving precious skill development on the table. Stickhandling is one of the easiest skills to work on at home. XHockeyProducts has put together a great line of hockey training aids that is both fun and effective, which means players will be more motivated to work on their skills off the ice! The X-Deviator: The X-Deviator is a new take on hockey stickhandling aids. The biggest difference between the X-Deviator and some of the other stickhandling aids out there is that the X-Deviator is adjustable. Each joint on the X-Deviator swivels,…

How to Install the Sniper’s Edge Indoors

Hockey Equipment, Off-ice Training, Skills
Here's a Quick Tutorial on Installing the Sniper's Edge Indoors A few weeks ago I published a detailed review on the Sniper's Edge, which is a shooting tarp that can fit in the opening of any standard two-car garage. The product is fantastic, and I had a blast putting that review together. You can check it out here: FULL SNIPER'S EDGE REVIEW. Since then, I've relocated to a bigger house (Weiss Tech HQ), and the new house has a pretty big unfinished basement... perfect for my new hockey training facility! Benefits of the Indoor Installation After getting everything moved in, one of the first things I did was install my Sniper's Edge in the basement. As much as I liked it outdoors, I must admit, the indoor install has been…

The Sniper's Edge is an Awesome Hockey Targeting System that Offers Plenty of Versatility A few months ago, I got my hands on the Sniper's Edge from HockeyShot. I had seen this Hockey Targeting System in the past, but hadn't ever used one before. So, I was excited at the chance to give it a whirl, and was impressed with the experience. Product Overview The Sniper's Edge fits over any standard two-car garage door opening, and comes in 2 sizes, 7' x 16' or 8' x 16' (so make sure you measure the height of your garage door before ordering). The unit comes tightly wrapped in a box - make sure you follow the labeling and DON'T USE A KNIFE TO OPEN THE BOX, as you will risk slicing a…

Hockey Drills, Individual Skill Drills, Off-ice Training, Passing & Timing, Skills
Introducing... the Best Hockey Passing Rebounder on the Market! Over the past few years, a number of Hockey Passing Rebounders have made their way to the off-ice training market. These rebounders offer many fun and effective ways of working on your passing both on and off the ice, and I highly recommend owning one.

The X-Passer is a heavy-duty, versatile passing rebounder, that has improved on some of the design flaws of other rebounders that are currently on the market. It's a lot of fun to use, and it works REALLY well. I'm excited to show you what this is all about, so let's jump straight in!…

Shooting: Extreme Passer for 1-Timers

Coaches' Corner, Hockey Equipment, Off-ice Training, Skills, Useful Products
The Extreme Passer is an Awesome Tool for Working on your One-Timer! Every once in a while, a product comes along that just makes sense. The Extreme Passer is one of them. This device is simple, but very versatile in how it can be used. The Extreme Passer clamps or screws onto any shooting pad synthetic ice surface, and can then be used as a "passing buddy" to feed you passes for one-time shots (as we're demonstrating in this post), or as a rebounder to actually practice your passing technique (as we'll show in an upcoming post). When you open up your Extreme Passer, the first thing you'll notice is that it is super heavy duty. It's thick enough that will stay stable as you fire passes off it. Set-up…
