Along with the extensive weightlifting and conditioning workouts done in the off -season by the Big Red hockey pro- gram, the last three years have also brought the addition of a new and innovative component to the training regimen.

“Hockey Treadmill” as a tool for performance enhancement Coaches and Staff on the ice. “The hockey treadmill presents a great opportunity for our players to develop their skating skills for the next level,” said Big Red head coach . “It will help them develop more explosiveness and better strides on the ice. Ultimately, skating is the most important skill that any hockey player can have.” The innovative, scientifi cally designed hockey treadmill has a large ice-like surface that can tilt from zero to 32 percent elevation, while running at speeds over 16 miles per hour. Meet The Big Red With the use of the treadmill, Cornell hockey players are able to hone their skating abilities by analyzing general mechan- ics and correcting fl aws in their skating technique. Strength training programs are designed specifi cally for each player to match their individual needs, incorporating a plyometric approach designed to increase quickness and agility, along with balance and stamina.
