The HockeyShot Playground - Where Men Become Boys

Lifestyle

This Summer HockeyShot has teamed up with Professional Instructor, Dan Ninkovich to run his leading edge BTNL HockeyShot Development Camp. Beyond the Next Level is an innovative program and gym geared for top level hockey players. Let’s have a look at some video work in Dan’s newly renovated gym that includes HockeyShot’s training aids!

Dan Ninkovich's Newly Renovated Gym

In our first video, HockeyShot gets a quick tour of Dan’s new facility. BTNL has renovated their gym and has added a complete setup of the HockeyShot Extreme Goal & 2D Backstop along with the Extreme Shooter Tutor. As you can see, the NHL pros have beaten the h-e-double-hockey-sticks out of the net the past few months while practicing shot-power, speed and accuracy day in and day out! For one-timers and passing development, there are HockeyShot Extreme Passer Pro on each corner that STILL rebound passes perfectly. Lastly, to add a more genuine feel to stick handling and shooting, Dan has also integrated HockeyShot’s Extreme Glide Synthetic Ice for a smooth surface.

State of the art Locker Room

Here, HockeyShot got an inside look at the renovated facility for Beyond the Next Level. We’re able to see the state-of-the-art locker room that, with the help of sponsors like Pacific Rink and MuscleMilk, is fully loaded with a flat screen TV for video preparation, speakers, and plenty of room, even for a Ping-Pong table! What you are not able to see is the hot-tub around the corner which had players soaking in it.

HockeyShot's Mini Danglers in a Square Formation

This short video shows HockeyShot’s Mini Danglers in a square formation (can use in circle formation too) for an on ice warm up drill. This gets the creativity and hand-eye coordination flowing correctly before getting out in high tempo drills. Adjustable and high quality, this simple accessory will most definitely improve your dangles and dekes!

HockeyShot's Game Changing Synthetic Ice

HockeyShot’s game-changing Extreme Glide Synthetic Ice are being used in this video where our player is stickhandling seamlessly with Mini Danglers as well as quick passes to the Extreme Passer Pro. The Synthetic Ice are very smooth giving players a near identical feel as the ice itself. Although he is in sneakers, you can skate on this surface! All HS products serve for flawless off ice training tools!

HockeyShot's Extreme Danglers Stacked - Celtic Cross Formation

In this video, we have HockeyShot’s Extreme Danglers stacked on one another to make a Celtic Cross formation. The drill aims at improving stickhandling, hand eye coordination and speed. Mainly, it helps tremendously with speed in relation to hand-eye coordination as you need perfect touch in these tight spaces. Also, Dan loves to share videos and stories on Instagram so make sure to post and have a look for more on his page @deejbtnl

HockeyShot Passer Pros - Quick Release Drill

HockeyShot Extreme Passer Pros are a great way to practice not only one-timers, but also quick-release shots. In this video, we have an elite prospect using the Passer Pros in a quick release drill. On the Extreme Glide Synthetic Ice this drill is seamless in transition and gives the shooter a similar feel to the challenge of releasing the puck nearly immediately after receiving it.

Extreme Dangler - Transition in Motion

Finally, we have some youthful talent using two Extreme Danglers lined up in rows for a stickhandling drill that forces the player to not only sick handle but also transition in motion to the other Dangler. This challenging drill should be done at the player’s full speed to improve on hand eye and of course stickhandling speed. Don’t forget, share your videos with Dan on Instagram @deejbtnl
