Dean Talafous created the skating SPEED RAMP so he could help hockey players gain more quickness in their skating. Dean learned from his playing days in the NHL that you don’t have to be the fastest skater, but the most important thing in skating is quickness and the ability to come out of a stop or change of direction and win the race to the puck. The SPEED RAMP is the best technology available for working on skating quickness. The incline allows for the natural overload of the skating muscles in a physiologically sound manner that does not change a player’s stride form. The state-of-the-art timing system give the athlete extra motivation and instant feedback. The training environment allows for motivation, instruction of skating mechanics, instant feedback and a safe and effective overload for players of all ages and abilities.
Jack Blatherwick,
Renowned Hockey Physiologist, Skating Coach for the Washington Capitals, and 5 time U.S. Olympic Hockey Team Assistant Coach had this to say about the SPEED RAMP;
"The ramp is an excellent tool for developing quickness. All players – even those at the highest levels – will certainly improve their explosiveness in the first few strides from these workouts. Instantaneous feedback from electronic timing is an excellent motivator, and I have watched many athletes improve each time they trained at Total Hockey."
