How to Stay Safe & Train at Home During These Uncertain Times

During these unprecedented and uncertain times, everyone in the world has a responsibility to do their part to get past this global pandemic. For most of us, that means self-quarantining and exercising social distancing to prevent the spread of this virus. While this is what we all need to do to help out, it is not easy. Keeping mentally and physically healthy during this period can be difficult. Here are 4 things hockey players can do to get through these tough times.

In trying times, focusing on things you love and that will keep you happy is important. With all levels of hockey shut down, from the NHL to Learn to Skate programs, the sport that so many of us turn to for solace is not there on an organized level. Although this is not ideal, it does give hockey players the time to focus on your craft, develop your skills, and work on many things they might not otherwise have time for normally. Turning these negatives into positives through training is a great way to get through this period of isolation.

This is a perfect time to clean, disinfect, and sanitize all your equipment from your gloves to your sticks to your training equipment. This is something we rarely think about and do even less. Now that preventing the spread of germs is so important, it is a great time to do these things. The bonus is that it will help get any germs off your equipment and help it last longer and smell better as well!

Even though you have to stay home, it doesn't mean you can't go outside by yourself or with a family member. Off-ice, at-home training is allowed during this time of self-isolation and doing this will not only help you stay physically and mentally sharp but also help you be a better player when you get back on the ice. Here are some things to work on at home and the equipment you need to do it.

#Accuracy - You need to have a quick release on your shot and be able to pick the corners to become a great goal scorer. To work on these skills at home, check out products like a hockey goalie tarp or a hockey shooter tutor to make shooting more difficult and beneficial than shooting on an empty net.

#Dangling - Polish your moves and learn to deke and dangle like a pro. Using dedicated stickhandling devices will help you gain those silky-smooth mitts while learning to keep the puck glued to their stick. Don't have access to a device, grab a tennis ball and folding chairs and make an at-home obstacle course!

#Passing - Get those apples! There are many passing devices that exist on that market that can help improve your game. Look for a device that has a bounce-back feature and you may give and receive passes and even work on one-timers. Another passing accuracy option is to find household objects both large and small that you could pass into. For example, take a larger box or bucket that has a 20 - 30" opening. From there work towards objects with smaller openings all the way down to 5 - 10" wide and see how many pucks you can get in, challenge yourself.

#Hustle - Get up every day with a smile on your face and be ready to work hard and progress! The way the best players in the world get to the next level is they simply outwork the competition. It doesn't matter what level or age group you belong to. Set reachable goals for yourself, then work hard to beat those goals. Once you do, set even loftier goals and keep going! You'll be amazed with the results. Remember, off-ice training leads to on-ice dominance.

Connect with Others - Everyone is in the same boat here so even though you can't be together in person, that doesn't mean you and your friends and teammates can't train "together". Reach out on social media, use video chat services, create at-home training groups. Show off your sniper skills and challenge your buddies to see how they measure up. Use the hashtag #sniperintraining to go beyond your hockey circle and join with hockey players all over the world doing the same thing as you.

At Snipers Edge Hockey, we know how hard these times are and are doing our best to get through it just like you. We hope we can do a small part to help hockey players get through this by providing great at-home hockey training equipment and a forum for players to share their training and connect with others. Stay safe and use this time to be creative and find a way to strengthen and build your hockey relationships with people across the globe!

How to Stay Safe & Train at Home During These Uncertain Times During these unprecedented and uncertain times, everyone in the world has a responsibility to do their part to get past this global pandemic.

Right now, circumstances have led to people having to spend a lot more time at home. The old normal of hockey games, practices, and gym training has been transformed into the new normal of self-isolation. This means no playing with your teammates, getting in-person instruction from your coach or training on professional equipment at the rink or a gym.

This doesn't mean you should stop training though! On the contrary, now is a perfect time to keep working on your game so that when things do get back to normal - and they will - you or your child will be a better, stronger, and more skilled hockey player. The best way to do this is with a hockey training package that gives you everything you need to train at home. Here are some of the best hockey training kits you can get to help you through this difficult time.

Hockey Shooting Packages

Let's be honest. Most hockey players want one thing; to score goals! A great deke, a pinpoint pass, or great poke check on defense are all great but nothing feels quite as good as lighting the lamp. With our , you will be able to improve your shot so it is more accurate, quicker, and harder which are the three most important things for shooting in hockey.

Accuracy - To be an accurate shooter, you need to be able to pick out the corners or go five-hole. With the Sniper's Edge Rookie Package, you get a hooting pad to replicate shooting off real ice and a goalie shooting tarp to get you hitting those sweet spots.

Quickness - To improve the speed with which you get off your shot, check out the Pro Package. This gives you the pad and tarp plus a passing helper and speed balls to help accelerate your reflexes.

Power - The All-Star shooting package gives you all this plus multiple balls and pucks and a stickhandling trainer to strengthen your core and give you more power behind your shot.

Stickhandling Training Package

Stickhandling is all about control. Being able to control the puck like it is glued to your stick is what makes a great stickhandler. Even with natural abilities and talent, the best stickhandlers in the world practice, practice, practice. The more you practice your craft, the silkier your mitts will become!

Sniper's Edge also has three levels of stickhandling hockey training packages . The Rookie package is for beginners and has a stickhandling trainer and a variety of balls and pucks train different aspects of stickhandling. The intermediate Pro hockey training kit adds a PassMaster to practice the next step of stickhandling to and from a pass. Finally, the All-Star hockey training kit is as close as you can get to a real, on-ice practice with a stickhandling pad and an attack triangle that replicates ice and an opponent respectively.

Passing Training Packages

Last but not least in the hockey training kit world is the passing training packages. While goals may get you the glory and stickhandling will get you the "oohs" and "ahhs", passing is what will get you the respect of your teammates and coaches.

When you are training alone at home, it can be hard to work on passing due to the lack of a teammate. That is where the Snipers Edge passing skills hockey training kit comes in. All of the packages, Rookie, Pro, and All-Star, come with a PassMaster and a shooting mat so you can work on sending and receiving passes under realistic conditions. These three levels allow you to work on everything from the basics of passing to high-level maneuvers.
Conclusion

Now is the perfect time to get better. It is a perfect time to train and develop your skills. It is the perfect time to become a Sniper in Training. You might not be able to get on the ice as much as you want or at all right now but that doesn't mean that you can't be working on your skills all the time. Stickhandling is an especially valuable skill on the ice and one that, with the right equipment, you can easily train at home. Here is how you can train at home so you are a better dangler next time you step on the ice.

Keys to Dangler Training

When it comes right down to it, stickhandling is all about muscle memory. The best danglers will naturally push and pull the puck where they want it to go without thinking about it and without looking at it. They are not able to do this because they are born with some special stickhandling sense that allows them to control the puck, they are able to control the puck because of the hours they have spent training to do so. The training has created muscle memory that allows them to dangle naturally no matter what the situation.

There are two keys to creating this muscle memory. One is repetition. The more you practice, the more natural the motions will become. The other is simulating the normal hockey rink environment as close you can when you train. This will give you the real feel of stickhandling on the ice which will help develop the muscle memory you need to become a world-class dangler. The best way to do this is with stickhandling tiles for your home.

Stickhandling Training Equipment

are the one piece of equipment you need to become a better dangler. Practicing in your driveway or on your basement or garage floor is ok but they don't give you the real feel of ice and the way the puck moves on it. Training on these stickhandling tiles means that everything you do will help to create muscle memory that will translate seamlessly to the ice. Using these is the best way to maximize your dangler training time and to see and feel the benefits as soon as you step on the ice.

While these stickhandling tiles are key to stickhandling training, they are also helpful for shooting and passing drills as well. In addition, they are durable, portable, and easy to assemble so they can be installed almost anywhere. Each box covers 20 square feet so you can cover as much or as little area as you want as well. Start designing your rink today!

Stickhandling Tips

Once you have your stickhandling tiles installed and are ready to start training, there are a few quick tips to keep in mind while you train.

Don't grip the stick too tight, your stickhandling won't be as fluid if you do.

Your top hand should do most work.

Practice putting the puck all around your body, you never know where the defenders will come from!

Use your entire stick blade - forehand, backhand, heel, and toe.

Once you get comfortable, keep your head and eyes up at all times. This is what the best danglers ALWAYS do.

Conclusion

Legendary football coach Vince Lombardi once said, "Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect." This is why stickhandling tiles are so important to your training. With the Dryland Slick tiles from Snipers Edge, you will be able to perfectly practice your stickhandling at home and become a much better dangler on the ice.

The Hockey Shooting Targets You Need for Your Home

When you get back on the ice next hockey season, what skill would you like to have improved during your time training at home? Would you like to be a better passer and get more assists? How about being a better dangler with sweet stickhandling moves? Maybe you want to gain strength and become a stronger skater? All these skills are great to develop and will surely help your or your child's overall game. But, let's be honest. What you REALLY want to see when next hockey season rolls around is two words - More. Goals.

Everyone wants to light the lamp, from the craftiest forwards to the biggest defensemen (even goalies dream of sending one long on an empty net and getting the glory!). To do this, you need to train to become a better shooter. Now is a perfect time to buy hockey shooting targets and other shooting training equipment for your home. Here are the hockey shooting targets that will help you or your young hockey player develop a shot that will strike fear in the hearts of goalies everywhere.

Hockey Goal Net

The first thing you need to become a great shooter is the ultimate in hockey shooting targets, a regulation hockey goal/net. This is a regulation-sized hockey goal that measures 4' x 6'. It is easy to assemble and durable with 2" thick steel pipes and a strong, thick net. It is the real thing and that will make your shooting training more realistic and productive.

Ultimate Goalie

Shooting on a regulation net is great but without a goalie, it doesn't simulate the full experience that a shooter needs to train in the most effective and efficient way possible. Unless there is a brother or sister in the family who is a goalie or you happen to live next-door to Carey Price or Dominik Hasek, the next best thing is the Ultimate Goalie Shooter Tutor. This shooting tarp attaches to a regulation net and simulates the space a goalie takes up in net. The corners and 5-hole are open and train shooters to pick out these prime, goal-scoring targets.

Shooting Tarp

If you don't have the means to have a regulation hockey goal at home for whatever reason, you can still do some great shooting training on other types of hockey shooting targets. This hockey shooting tarp can be hung anywhere and gives you the outline of a net, a goalie, and the corner and 5-hole targets you need to train properly. You can hang it in a basement, in front of a garage, or in any space you want to convert into a legit hockey shooting training space.

Shooting Pad

Whether you use a hockey goal, a net with an ultimate goalie, or a shooting tarp, the best way to simulate the feel and control of shooting on ice is to shoot from a hockey shooting pad. This pad simulates shooting on ice and help develop shooting skills that will translate to the ice better and faster than shooting off any other surface.

Conclusion

With these hockey shooting targets, you or your favorite young hockey player will be able to train their shooting skills at home in a way that will absolutely translate to the ice in a real way.
