Off-ice training at MAP South Hockey focuses on increasing the individual's athleticism in order to improve hockey skills, build confidence, and prevent injury on the ice. After building a technical base, we focus on increasing the athlete's rate-of-force. If you can move yourself faster down the ice or in small areas, you have a definite advantage. Off-ice development can be applied to any athlete of any age and any skill level; although, the training protocol will depend on the athlete's personal fitness level, off-ice testing results, age, work capacity, commitment and goals.

The MAP South Hockey workouts consist of endurance, strength, speed, and power training centered on core stability and strength. It covers EVO Sport, lower body, upper body, plyometrics, core, speed, agility, quickness, yoga, TRX, interval training, shooting and stick-handling.

All our athletes can train at the campus facilities whenever they want during our hours of operation. Typically, athletes will workout either right before or right after their ice time, however it is up to the player. If they missed the ice session and still want to get a workout in, they can come whenever they want. Staff will be ready to help them.

MAP South Hockey has one Rapidshot Pro hockey training system with technology centered on repetition and feedback. The system automatically passes and collects pucks. Players catch passes and shoot at targets while RapidShot records reaction time, accuracy and speed. It allows players and coaches to analyze fundamental techniques specific to hockey. RapidShot's World Rankings Database promotes competition and ranks scores among players in individual age groups. 

RapidShot is an indispensable training tool for every hockey player - professional NHLers, junior athletes, and minor hockey participants - who want to go from good to better and from better to best.

Off-ice training on RapidShot is a great complement to on-ice practice. It allows players to get valuable practice time in an environment that measures performance, delivers feedback and develops proper skills. Players have the option to shoot in their skates, which helps simulate on-ice situations.

RapidShot provides an unparalleled passing rate. Receiving up to 800 passes per hour allows players to develop a "feel for the puck". The evaluation of each shot allows for real time assessment and correction if necessary.

RapidShot records all sessions and allows the player to view their results on the RapidShot website. They can monitor their results through a progress report which breaks down their reaction time, accuracy, and speed.

RapidShot allows players to learn the best technique by providing immediate feedback and the maximum rate of repetition within the shortest period of time. Players can learn to optimize their puck speed, without sacrificing reaction time or accuracy.

MAP South Hockey has five RapidHands hockey training systems that improve vision and stickhandling by multitasking while encouraging sound fundamentals.

If players want to improve control and hand speed, they can only do so throughrepetition and feedback. RapidHands is a unique hockey training system that improves vision and stickhandling by providing a fun and competitive way to train while encouraging sound fundamentals.

The training system uses sensors embedded in synthetic ice to track the movement of the puck. When the system asks a player to stickhandle over a specific target, the puck activates the sensor, informing the software that the maneuver has been performed.  It also allows players to work on their transition from stick handling to passing on both sides of the stick.  Scores are recorded, performance is measured and feedback is provided to gauge the player’s progress and shows how they rank with respect to their peers.

Rapid Hands forces players to keep their head up while they multitask and stick handle. 

MAP South Hockey indoor complex will have two shooting lanes. Each lane is equipped with a regulation size hockey nets and targets. Four additional shooting lanes are location adjacent to the indoor facility. The shooting lanes are designed to allow for individual lane shooting for proper technique and repetition or for multiple players to practice passing and one-time shooting. 

MAP South Hockey 3,500 sq. ft. Stickhandling and Multitasking Area has everything players need to improve puck control, reaction speed, hand-eye coordination, weight transfer and balance.

All great hockey players share the ability to stickhandle, control and protect the puck under pressure. This talent is developed through training and is essential to improving as a player.  On-ice stickhandling skills can be improved off-ice.
