Now based at ESL Sports Centre, Maksymum Hockey has expanded our services to include a full-service weight room and two shooting rooms. These new additions should complement and enhance our existing programs which already include private lessons, camps, clinics and leagues.
We are a hockey specific training facility as well as a science-based sports training system that has delivered real, quantifiable results to over half a million athletes, including more than 2,500 Olympic and professional athletes, no matter their age, gender or sport. a fully equipped weight room through our affiliation with Athletic Republic. We provide the dynamic integration of speed, power and agility.
The Hockey Treadmill, coupled with your trainer and the mirror in which you can see your progress, sets you up to play at game speed for a longer period with more power and agility than your opponent. It’s the perfect ice-like surface, designed to train you from the inside out—neurologically, metabolically and biomechanically—so that you can become a more efficient skater. You train in your skates, just as if you were on ice.
Made of our patented and specially lubricated, ice-like surface, the Hockey Treadmill tilts from 0- to a 32-percent grade and can operate at speeds over 16 miles per hour, creating a perfect environment to improve your skating and efficiency. After just one Acceleration Hockey Training program, comprised of 22 – 26 sessions spread over six to eight weeks, our athletes enhance their break away speed, develop quicker cuts, improve power in the first three steps and gain conditioning.
Our scientific research shows that incline treadmill skating recruits key muscles at a level two to three times higher than rink skating at the same stride frequency, which helps you produce more power during each stride, during both push-off and recovery. We continually test your progress and help you refine your stride. The treadmill also allows us to safely take you beyond what you can do on the ice—so you learn to skate faster and improve your efficiency and conditioning. This translates to success on the ice.
In our optimal training environment—a potent combination of our proprietary equipment coupled with properly placed mirrors, video feedback and our qualified trainers who coach you stride for stride—you’ll find that you quickly progress beyond all your preconceived notions about your abilities and limitations. You will gain power to fight through a check or drive forwards from out in front of the net. And with the added integration of our cord technology and advanced video technology, you’ll hear, feel and see that difference.
We think it says a lot when we can tell you that the first prototype of this machine ever built is still in use today.
Our facility features two hockey specific training rooms. Each room is equipped with a synthetic ice floor consisting of a series of interlocked panels with a gliding surface of high density polymer ethylene. This surface provides a high resistance to abrasion and skate nicks while offering an excellent medium for hockey skills development.
The Goalie Room is equipped with both synthetic and real ice. The real ice is located in the crease area providing goalies with game conditions for training. The synthetic ice is located in the shooting area [see picture above].
The Skills Room, complete with refurbished synthetic ice, offers a realistic ice surface for skating, stickhandling and shooting work.
Helmets are required in both rooms. Skates must be worn and sticks with no tape are required in the skills room.
