The Dangle Glove Encourages Proper Stickhandling Technique by Forcing Players to Use their Top Hand Every once in a while, a product comes along that just "makes sense." The Dangle Glove is one of them. This special glove helps to "force" players to use proper technique while stickhandling. Dangle Glove Overview: I'm sure at some point you've seen players stickhandling using a piece of PVC pipe, or a toilet paper tube on their bottom hand. This old training technique has been around for a long time, and is used to help players develop the habit of using their top hand to control the stickhandle, while their bottom hand acts as a stabilizer. The Dangle Glove takes this training method to a whole new level, allowing for more flexibility in drill…

HockeyOT was designed by pro hockey players & coaches. It’s like having your own personal hockey strength & conditioning coach at a fraction of the cost It's no secret I'm a huge believer in off-ice training. In my last post we talked about the importance of understanding who your competition is, and how to gain an advantage over them. You an check that post out here: Who IS my Competition Anyways…?

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. I reviewed the Starter Kit, and was impressed with how much equipment it came with, even for the lowest-priced option! All three kits are fantastic. The main difference it that the Premium and Premium Plus kits come with more equipment (Speed Chutes & Plyo Hurdles) In this post, I'm including 6…

Coaches' Corner, Hockey Equipment, Off-ice Training, Skills, Useful Products
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…

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…
