R3 Hockey Training

In partnership with SenseArena, R3 Hockey Academy puts each player or goalie on the ice in a 20,000-seat arena, as if they were to open the doors themselves. Everything is just as real - you will hear the familiar sounds of an ice rink, when you catch the puck, and when you hit the glass.  The player is receiving on-ice hockey training -- off the ice and in the world of virtual sports.

Sense Arena's software is constantly being developed and evolving. There are currently more than 80+ drills in seven age categories (from U10 to Professional). Each drill has numerous settings - complexity, player positions, difficulty, and/or obstacles. Sense Arena's new drills and features are released every second month, which means the player is ALWAYS receiving the latest and greatest the technology has to offer.

With a 16x16 synthetic ice surface, the entire game of hockey is brought to reality through the world of technology.

Sense Arena is an off-ice training platform that improves players' Read & React cognitive capabilities, which are critical for peak performance. The SenseArena-technology and methodology are developed in cooperation with professional NHL players and coaches.

We train "hockey sense" and "hockey skills".   

With more then 80 drills and a dozen training plans that focus on development of:

​

• Speed of reaction in hockey – with the focus on scoring (rebound, deflection, tipping, shooting one-timers), passing (passing agility drills)
• Decision making – team-play drills forcing fast decisions under various conditions
• Time movement anticipation – training of break-out passes, dynamic passing situations
• Hockey intelligence – reading open lanes, keep away, power-play situations
• Multitasking – focus on distribution of the brain power – decision making in parallel agility activities
