Hockey Training - Acceleration Minnesota Sports Training Centers

We provide the dynamic integration of SPEED, POWER and AGILITY.

Acceleration facilities are the only training centers that possess the patented skating treadmill. Combine that with our exclusive workouts and professional trainers and you've got a facility way ahead of the rest. Here's a glimpse at how our hockey training can help you become a stand-out athlete.

Skating Treadmill
We'll skate you up the ice, literally. Our patented hockey treadmill is designed to accommodate varying speeds and elevations to target the two components of speed, stride length and stride frequency. The added resistance of the ice creates more forceful knee drive while the higher grade forces longer, stronger extension. The result, an efficient skater with a superior stride to speed ratio. Like all our training, the skater is given one on one attention to develop and ensure proper skating mechanics. Take it on the ice. Skaters are amazed how the treadmill translates to the rink. Speed feels effortless while other skaters seem to stand still.

Plyometrics
It all starts with balance. Our agility drills were created to develop keen body awareness and control allowing you to extend your boundaries of movement, increase foot speed and generate faster response. You'll perform increasingly difficult foot drills on a variety of floor patterns that challenge your balance and allow to develop the functional foot speed that your hockey requires.

Stay in control
Upper body control is a crucial factor in your ability to act and react. During your plyometric training you will also take part in specific midsection, chest, back and shoulder exercises that will give you the strength and control you need to keep your speed. Some athletes will also utilize box jumps and the patented plyopress to increase muscle load and generate outstanding lateral and vertical power. Now you'll not only be able to outskate your competition but outmaneuver them as well.

Stickhandling and Shooting
Our Puckhandling and Shooting program covers every angle from hand responsibility to one timers. The stickhandling program teaches players how to make the stick an extension of their arm. How to move quickly and accurately. How to set-up or deke without losing a stride. Solid puck control is what makes solid shooting opportunities.The shooting program takes you from the mechanics of your shot to the net. Learn how to increase your power and accuracy for every shot situation.
