Modern Techniques of Hockey Skating

Considered by Hockey Experts to be the most Advanced Scientific Based Skating Program in Present Day Hockey. Our Modern Techniques of Hockey Skating Program has been researched, up graded and developed for over thirty years; this program is modified to teaching all levels from Beginner to Professional.

The program goes in depth on the proper mechanics of stride length, frequency, edge control, glide turns, sharp turns, Mohawk turns, stops and transitional skating. In our Elite programs we also introduce Advanced Techniques of Hockey Skating which includes all of the above plus speed, quickness, agility, over speed and resistance training.

We focus on stick length and its relation to proper skating mechanics; upper body posture and proper knee bend to ensure that each and every skater is able to improve. Players work towards their Bronze, Silver and Gold Skate Awards and many players that are now playing at a high level return for private skating lessons.

“Andrews Hockey provides the highest quality of training and they continue to work with me on my skating technique”

Andrews Hockey is very excited to announce the opening of the World Renowned Rapid Shot Hockey Training System! The Rapid Shot Shooting Lane is located upstairs at the Hockey Haven Training Centre at the CARI Complex and will be the only such system in PEI.

The RapidShot Hockey Training System is a patented system that will improve your hockey shooting. RapidShot measures reaction time, shot release, accuracy & velocity; requiring the shooter to receive passes and shoot over a series of 16 shots. It is not a simulator, but rather real training, with real pucks.

Standing at a distance from the net that measures just above the hash marks, you receive passes from the RapidShot passing machine. Just before you receive the puck on your stick, one of the four corners of the net lights up as your target. As soon as the puck hits the target, your reaction time, puck speed and accuracy are measured and immediately displayed on the overhead monitor. The pucks are automatically collected by the machine, allowing you to fire one puck after another, up to 800 per hour. Statistical values are analyzed by the RapidShot program to produce shooter profiles and rankings for all participants, which are uploaded to the Internet daily and incorporated into the World Rankings.
