Hockey Camps
The Weiss Tech Hockey Summer Camp provides a fantastic opportunity for world-class training, at a world class facility Weiss Tech Hockey: History We started Weiss Tech Hockey back in 2004 as a high-quality summer camp for local players in the Salt Lake area. Over the years, Weiss Tech Hockey has evolved, becoming very involved in the online hockey community. With a world-wide following, we have been receiving an ever-increasing number of requests from hockey folks wanting us to put forth a camp format that would would be more accessible for players from out of state (or out of country).

My New Hockey Training Set-up

Off-ice Training
Here's a Quick Tour of my Basement Hockey Training Center! You may have already heard... but we recently moved houses (literally across the street, actually!). We've got two crazy boys, and a third boy on the way, and it was just time to expand. Lucky for us, a bigger house across the street went up for sale just at the right time, so we jumped on it! It's taken a bit of time to get everything moved over and situated, but I finally had a chance to sort through, and set up my hockey training center. You might remember, space was a big concern in my old house, and I had most of my stuff crammed into the one side of our two-car garage. In our new house we have…

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.

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…

Check out this Slide Board Designed Specifically for Goalies! Every now and then I come across a hockey training product that just makes me go "wow!" That's what happened when I first saw the X-Goalie Crease Slideboard from XHOCKEYPRODUCTS. Now, I'm admittedly NOT a goalie guy. But it's not hard to tell when something is going to be beneficial for an athlete. Watch the videos I've included in this post, and check out how closely this product allows the goalies to mimic their on-ice movements. Incredible! Here are a few of the features you should know about: Regulation-size Crease The X-Goalie Crease Slideboard features an NHL regulation goalie crease that utilizes Fan-tastic Sports technology along with the "ProHybrid Visual Lead Position System."

Hockey Coaches Training Course Introduction

Coaches' Corner, Philosophy, Team Systems
Welcome to our Hockey Coaches Training Course! This course is designed as a pre-season "tune-up" to help coaches think through the Team Systems they plan on using throughout the upcoming season.
