HockeyLab Skatemill

Key Advantages

Designed specially for hockey players

Allow hockey players to improve their technique and train target muscle groups.

Skate mill stride assessment

A mill assessment will help analyze everything about a players stride and efficiency on ice. Each assessment will come with a full breakdown of areas that need improvement. This same assessment will also be taken into consideration when forming a strength/mobility program.

Extremely effective training

The skatemill can provide a much harder workout than conventional ice. Here a player can develop a speed much higher than on the rink because the rink has physical limits. Besides, the trainee can repeat the exercise much more frequently. All this makes every minute of training more efficient.

Recording and analysis

The player’s movements are recorded with the front and side cameras for further analysis.

Benefits for different levels

Beginner Athletes

Easier to learn how to skate with the drop-down bar to hold onto and professional instruction
Safer to learn how to skate with a safety harness to catch the skater if they fall.
Video analyses help players to see their mistakes in skating.

Intermediate Athletes

Higher repetition on the skating treadmill creates faster gains and better muscle memory and retention than on ice; players will be able to learn new skills faster and apply them to game situations sooner.
Forces players to work harder than on ice due to increased friction of treadmill surface versus ice and constant force of treadmill moving against the skater.
Skatemill forces players to stride perfectly every time. Any skating inefficiencies will be exposed very quickly.

Advanced Athletes

Video analyses help fine-tune any inefficiencies that will make big differences on the ice.
Challenges multi-tasking abilities essential for the professional game.
Great for off-season training or rehabilitation after an injury.
