Use these Dryland Training Kits from HockeyShot to set up Structured, Well-Organized Dryland Sessions with your Team! I recently had the opportunity to do a detailed review on HockeyShot's Dryland Training Kits. So I took my boy Tyler down to the tennis courts to have a workout and make some videos. We had a great workout, and had a blast putting these videos together. These kits are available in three different sets; the Starter Kit, Premium, and Premium Plus.

The Ultimate Goalie Fixes Some of the Issues with Other Canvas Targeting Systems If you've been following me over the past couple of years, you probably know I'm a huge believer in developing your snipes both on and off the ice. One of the main tools I've recommended and used over the past 20 years has been the Shooter Tutor, which is basically a canvas goalie with holes cut out in the corners and five-hole. Shooter Tutor Overview: The Shooter Tutor is a fantastic product, and I've used it myself for a number of different reasons: It's light weight, and easy to transport It's durable It gives "dead" rebounds, which are more realistic in my opinion It's fun to work with! Shooter Tutor Design Flaws As good as the Shooter…

Coaches' Corner, Useful Products
This Hockey Plus Minus App for iPad is a Fast and Easy Way to Track Plus Minus During Games! Anybody who follows my blog knows I'm a huge believer in using technology to enhance hockey coaching. I recently came across an iPad app that I'm really excited about... it's called Hockey Plus Minus. If you check out the app store, you'll see there are a number of hockey stat apps that have begun cropping up, some are really complex with the ability to track tons of different stuff, some are extremely simple, and only track a few things. With all the different options out there, I figured I'd take the chance to throw in my 2 cents worth on the subject. Here are three questions you should ask yourself before…

QuickStickz is an innovative new way to work on your stickhandling abilities off the ice, and it's a lot of fun too!
