The PowerSkater is a revolutionary dry land skating machine that teaches proper skating technique, stride power and speed - all at the same time! This extraordinary skating system:
-Molds the player into optimal skating mechanics, memorizing the patterns from perfect practice
-Trains the muscles used in skating in a bio-mechanical skating movement, rather than just trying to mimick "dryland" skating like a skating treadmill does
-Trains athletes for strength endurance, stride power, stride length, quickness and speed
-Teaches body control and balance while forcing the core to work as a true "speed" center
-Allows stick movement during exercise because there is no frame in the way to limit stickhandling
-Can be used for any anaerobic interval training like open ice hockey players, figure skaters and in-line hockey players (Athletes from tennis, basketball, soccer and other sports, which utilize a lateral lunge action, have benefited from using the PowerSkater.)
-In a rehab setting, the PowerSkater can be used successfully to rehabilitate ankle, knee and hip injuries.

"The PowerSkater has been the best kept secret in hockey and is Canada's Miracle off Ice!" Peter Twist, World Renown Hockey Training Expert, 11 yrs. Conditioning Coach, Vancouver Canucks, NHL |
Poor skaters will improve their technique while building the very physical tools that superior skating draws upon. Excellent skaters will immediately notice that this is the best skating machine ever designed as they experience the same local muscle fatigue they feel on-ice. The PowerSkater is also of use for anaerobic interval hockey training, and does not limit the PowerSkater to ice hockey players, figure skaters and in-line hockey players. Athletes from tennis, basketball, soccer and other sports, which utilize a lateral lunge action, have benefited from using the PowerSkater. In a rehab setting, the PowerSkater can be used successfully to rehabilitate ankle, knee and hip injuries.
Train Your Muscles, Train Your Mind - Gluteals, Quads, and Hamstrings
Skating skills are the most important part of hockey and quite often the most neglected due to lack of adequate training or ice time. Proper technique is required for all elements of skating, including forward stride, crossover, backward skating, stops and starts. What is the proper technique?
8 Basic Skating Skill Sets
- Relaxed posture- Flexible ankle bends
- Flexible knee bends - 2" over your toes
- Body lean forward - shoulders even with the toes
- Back straight
- Chest up
- Stomach in, and
- Your head up
Making a full stride on the PowerSkater trains your body to memorize the technique, which results in good habits that will transfer to the ice. The PowerSkater replicates a forward-stride movement, resulting in balance, power and control. The same exercise will assist the skater in other skating skills such as crossover, backward skating, stops and starts.
