Building a hockey centre means getting a lot of separate pieces to work together: testing technology, strength equipment, rink infrastructure, and the training system that connects them. HDTS now works with three established partners on those pieces, so hockey centres in North America can plan, build and run their facility with one team behind them.<\/p>\n

Three partners, one centre<\/p>\n

VALD Performance<\/a>: objective testing. VALD systems are integrated into beeSPORT, the HDTS platform for testing and player development. Results from ForceDecks, NordBord, ForceFrame, DynaMo and SmartSpeed show up in the same place as the rest of a player\u2019s data, so coaches can follow strength, power and speed without switching between tools.<\/p>\n

Life Fitness and Hammer Strength<\/a>: the strength zone. Life Fitness equipment, including Hammer Strength plate-loaded systems, gives the off-ice gym the tools players need to build lower-body and rotational power, the strength that carries over to skating and shooting.<\/p>\n

Athletica Sport Systems<\/a>: the rink. Athletica supplies dasher boards and arena glass for hockey facilities across North America, manufactured in Waterloo, Ontario. With Athletica on board, the rink itself is part of the same plan as the training technology around it.<\/p>\n

What it means for centre owners
\nOne line of communication. HDTS coordinates the partners, so owners don\u2019t have to manage four suppliers and four timelines.
\nEquipment that fits together. Testing, strength training and on-ice work are planned as one centre from the start, not added piece by piece.
\nData in one place. Measurements flow into beeSPORT, where coaches and players track development over time.
\nBrands players and coaches already trust. Every part of the centre comes from a company with a track record in the sport.
\nFirst joint project: Calgary<\/p>\n

The first centre planned on this network is a new hockey training centre in Calgary, Alberta. It is the starting point for bringing the same approach to more hockey centres across North America.<\/p>\n
