prepare for NHL Combine 2010
Our World Class training has just taken it to another level with this new move. Our new 11,000 square foot centre has expanded to have two separate training turfs with weight rooms in each. These spaces are still loaded with only the best in weight equipment, including Eleiko Olympic lifting plates and bars, customized platforms and racks for each, commercial rubberized dumbbells, and KEISER bikes and functional pneumatic cable machines. Each room has 2000 sq feet of specialized PERFECT TURF athletic training turf, and the necessary accessories for unlimited training options.
Skillz High Octane™
New to our centre, the SKILLZ HIGH OCTANE™ Training room, with the WOODWAY skating treadmill and RAPID SHOT™ training system! The new skating treadmill is built within a 30’x30’ deck surrounded by synthetic ice allowing for full passing and shooting skills combined with skating, and skating analysis. Along with this system is the newly developed first of its kind SKATING ANALYSIS system, using a motion capture video analysis system developed by REDTECH TECHNOLOGIES. This technology will allow for dissection of skating mechanics similar to system used by the University of Calgary’s Biomechanics lab for running.
3-D Skating Analysis System
As part of our 6-point player testing and assessment system, we will also be using the first of its kind in the world 3-D Motion Capture system from RedTech Innovations. The system has been strategically designed to critically analyze the biomechanics of the hockey stride for a player. With the information collected from each assessment, it allows us to identify functional weaknesses and imbalances a player may be exhibiting which will, subsequently, allow us to design more individualized training programs for the player all while reducing their risk of sustaining an injury and improving their performance.
Video conference room
Our video conference room will be used for skating video feedback, as well as fully functional seminar room for teaching sessions and meetings.

In house we have BACK & BODY HEALTH, a fully operational therapy space with private rooms. Their staff includes chiropractics, Active Release Techniques (ART), Acupuncture, Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs), and Athletic Therapist led by Dr. Ryan Hoover.
