Skills improvement
When it comes to hockey skills improvement there is likely no better training tool than synthetic ice for hockey players. Sure it’s easy enough to shoot 50 or 100 pucks every day or practice your stick handling drills in your sneakers, but if you can do these with your skates on then the learning will accelerate. Think about it. When you practice shooting wearing your sneakers for example you are training your body (and your mind) to do a repetitive motion over and over to develop muscle memory of that movement. Then you go to the rink and put your skates on and are suddenly 3inches taller and everything looks and feels different. That shot that was so easy when you were shooting at home in your sneakers has suddenly abandoned you. What’s going on?
Well there are a number of possible explanations of course but it’s hard to deny that if a hockey player was able to do most of their skills training on synthetic hockey ice with skates on then they would most likely immediately transfer those skills to real ice. Furthemore, it doesn’t need to be a large pad of synthetic ice either. For example if your primary focus was shooting (verses skating for example) then installing a 10 foot x 10 foot synthetic ice pad in your basement or garage – large enough to shoot or stick handle with skates on – could make a huge difference in the acceleration of basic hockey skills.
So here’s a thought:
Ditch those sneakers for skates and train for hockey the way it was meant to be played – with skates on!
