Radar Gun

 Prove your development each week by testing and recording your shot speed.

 Immediate shot speed feedback is a great way to measure your improvement!

 Who shoots the hardest among your teammates and your local opponents? 

Digital Image Changer

Work on keeping your head up while you gain a feel for the puck during stick handling.

Look at the changing images and call out what you see while performing different stick handling skill drills. 

We have Swedish Stick Handling Balls and weighted pucks to assist your puck handling ability to take your game to the next level.

Shooting Range for Passing, Shooting, Stick Handling Work

 In this shooting range area, players can focus on skills training with the addition of movement. 

 Passing, Shooting, Stick Handling, all while skating is the main goal of this section.  Also, learn how to pick the puck off the boards quickly and cleanly and work with the Swedish Pugi Puck, an oversized puck to assist with shot technique and strength.

Rinks Open to 80’ Skating Lane

 Open the two big doors that separate the main rink from the back rink and you can create an eighty (80) foot skating lane that is ten feet wide!

Skating stride work has never been so cool and challenging at the same time!

Bigger Main Rink

 Our main training rink has expanded to 40’ x 40’ giving users even more space in which to develop.

The uses of this space include:

* 2 on 2 games

* Private/Semi-Private/Group lessons

* And much more…

Before Rocket Ice...

After Rocket Ice!

Get Ice at Home

 Like PHD, you can create a home rink so that your hockey player can practice more, improve his/her skills, and enjoy playing the great game of ice hockey even more!

We will help you through the entire rink process from installing our own brand of ice, "Rocket Ice", to consultation with the placement of dasher boards, if so desired.

We have installed rinks in basements, garages, and even in driveways!  No freezers or cooling of any kind!
