Unfortunately, there are as many bad training devices out there on the market as there are good ones. And, by bad I mean that some gadgets aren’t scientifically based — they’re more hype than anything else, and there’s even the chance that they can be detrimental to effective hockey play. Just briefly touching upon the scientific side of things (for now)… I hope you appreciate that there are specific principles that govern the enhancement of a quality like speed (see Over-speed Theory for a few tips). Hey, go against those principles and there’s a likelihood you’re going to produce slowness…

To be honest, I’d highly recommend that team coaches and individuals try to commit themselves to at least a little sled training over their off-season. To begin, although the following videos aren’t earth shattering, they do offer some great ideas for improving a hockey player’s overall and even specialized strength… A little later I’ll remind members of what my on-ice version of “sled training” looks like — actually, it includes old tires assembled as “tow-trainers”. For now, though, please watch the above GIF to see this different kind of sled being used off the ice. Personally, I like the contraption,…

Coach Chic tops this episode of the CCC-TV Hockey Show with drills taken from his exclusive “Incredible Stickhandling” course. Because they’re all demonstrated from his office, any player should be able to watch on a home computer and follow right along.
