The Skills Rink

ZerOne’s small ice rink provides a focused training environment that enhances player development across key areas such as Power Skating, Puck Control, and Small Area Games.

ZerOne’s Shooting Lanes provide an optimal environment for developing hockey players’ shooting skills across four key areas: Accuracy, Power, Release, and Deception.

Based on the selected course, players can concentrate on:

• Power – building the mechanics and strength for powerful shots, perfecting body positioning and shot technique
• Release – speed and effectiveness of their shot release, practicing quick-draw techniques and shooting from various positions
• Deception – drills teach players to fool goaltenders and defenders with fake shots and varied release points, fostering creativity and cunning on the ice.
