Great coaching spots mechanical flaws; precision technology proves them.
Proud to unveil the Skating Drill Series in partnership with The Coaches Site.
For years, the skating stride has lived inside an analytical black box. Coaches work tirelessly on posture, edge control, and deception—yet players and development staffs are still left assessing progress largely by feel.
We are changing that equation.
In this exclusive multi-part series, elite NHL skating coaches Danielle Fujita (Calgary Flames) and Cathy Andrade (San Jose Sharks) break down foundational, game-transferable drill progressions:
Zone Entries with Cutbacks: Decelerating with balance and launching into open ice.
Puck Retrievals with Deceptive Footwork: Maximizing ankle mobility and lateral trunk stability.
Edge Development & Posture: Eliminating wasted motion to maintain a low center of gravity and explosive drive.

Paired with the Scorched Ice Smart Skates Sensor, every cut, crossover, and acceleration burst is tracked directly at the source attached to the skate holder:
Track Acceleration: Gauge early-stride responsiveness and initial push force.
Track Power: Measure true bilateral workload and eliminate kinetic power leaks.
Track Tempo: Identify mechanical breakdowns and fatigue shifts in real time.
Data without prescription is just noise. Drills without data are just guesswork.
By pairing the game’s top technical minds with our proprietary technology, we are giving players, coaches, and associations the blueprint to develop sustainable, elite speed.
Your stride. Your data. Your edge.
