On-Ice Acceleration

Good skating and skating fitness are essential for hockey success. The Peak Acceleration program is designed to help young skaters improve their skating ability and build speed and on ice fitness. Using age and developmentally appropriate skating drills and progressions, built around the work and rest ratios common to hockey, players are challenged in all aspects of their skating. Small group work with 4-5 skaters per coach means that your child will receive individual attention and correction that is unmatched in other programs. Pre and post program on ice speed and agility testing will help athletes and parents gauge their improvement and assess strengths and weaknesses.

SAA (Speed Acceleration and Agility)

In a typical hockey shift a player will experience 3-4 bursts of hard skating that last 2-3 seconds at a time. Players with the ability to reach top speed in a short period of time have a definite advantage over their opponents. Using cutting edge training techniques like over speed training, post activation potentiation, assisted and resisted sprinting and anaerobic alactic conditioning this session is designed to improve first step quickness, acceleration, top end speed and speed endurance. By employing equipment typically used in dry land sessions, speed chutes, hurdles etc., on the ice we are able to continually change up the stimulus the athlete receives and ensure their continued progress. On ice speed and agility testing will be done in the first session and repeated at the end of the program so that athletes can see how much they have improved.
