Our Paradigm
If you want to become more than just an average player on the ice, you need to take your game to new heights. To be the best, it takes a lot more than talent, drive, and motivation. The best in the game have learned how to correct their skills and develop new pinnacles in movement performance. Here at Apex Skating, we take hockey skill development to the next level. We offer an evidence-based coaching paradigm that is based on advanced movement biomechanics, anatomy, and exercise science to help skaters develop into high-performance hockey players.
Since our beginning, we have studied and captured movement data from some of the world’s best and most successful players in the game. Our coaches use this data to train and develop our clients’ range of motion, core stability, postural alignment, neuromuscular reactivity, dynamic balance, and visual cognitive skills to transform them into better hockey players on the ice.
How do we do that? Apex Skating is the industry leader in 3D motion capture technology. Through 3D capture, foot pressure mapping, and high-speed video analysis we can get a detailed biometric footprint of each player to create individualized training interventions to correct and improve their overall movement. We also track and quantify each player’s progress throughout each training program to provide them with the tools that they need to be more efficient in order to reach their maximum potential.
Our coaches and referral network are also key to our success. Our group of highly skilled hockey development coaches is what gives us our competitive edge over the other hockey training programs in the world. We also have access to a network of professional practitioners and specialists in sports medicine, physiotherapy, chiropractic, strength training and conditioning, athletic therapy and RMT. Each client will not only get development training from the best coaches in the industry, but also a 360-degree approach to injury prevention, rehabilitation, and athletic performance enhancement.
At Apex Skating, we’ve helped both NHL professionals and elite youth hockey players improve their range of motion, optimize movement efficiency, and learn how to read-and-react more quickly. The science and technology we use is specially designed to help unlock players’ true potential and create elite performers on the ice.
