Message from the Inventor

Finally, a simple, convenient, effective training device that takes the guesswork out of strengthening your skating movements. You can become an extremely powerful skater with the Pavesled™ (Patent Pending), a progressive resistance sled that comes in two models. The Model 100 is used off-ice on pavement with your inline hockey skates. Model 200 is used on-ice with your ice hockey skates. Regular training with either Pavesled™ will give you the same results: improved top-end speed and explosive acceleration.

Strength and conditioning coaches have been using resistance devices (like sleds) for years to help athletes improve their speed. However, unlike athletes in other sports, hockey players use a unique method of propulsion - skating. Runners practice running to run better and faster. Up until now, skaters also had to run if they wanted to utilize these resistance devices. With your Pavesled™ you now have a unique fool-proof way to strengthen your unique method of propulsion - skating!

Remember, cross-training (as a technique for improving your speed) only makes sense if the methods of propulsion are the same for each activity. Lance Armstrong, for example, spends endless hours cycling NOT swimming so he can become a faster cyclist. Not only is skating a unique method of propulsion, but hockey players must also be able to skate (fast) backwards, and in a circle, as well as forward. Training with either model Pavesled™ enables you to strengthen the exact muscles and skating movements used in a hockey game. While harnessed to your weighted Pavesled™, you can go from skating forward, to skating backward, to circular (x-over) skating and then back again without ever stopping-just like in a real game!

IF you have a background in kinesiology and you understand concepts like:

  • Sport specific training
  • Training effect transferability
  • Bio-mechanical muscle memory
  • Functional strengthening
  • Core strengthening
  • Dynamic range of motion
  • The advantages of free weights over machines
  • Progressive resistance

THEN you'll quickly understand why either model Pavesled™ is such an effective training device. If you aren't familiar with the above terms, don't worry, you don't need to be. Here's all you need to know:

IF you take hockey seriously and you want:

  • totally functional and realistic strengthening workouts
  • maximum convenience, simplicity, and effectiveness
  • to save time and money
  • all your forward, backward, and circular skating movements to become extremely powerful
  • explosive acceleration

THEN train regularly (year round!) with either model Pavesled™!

Pavesled™ workouts take all the guesswork and "approximation" out of your strengthening sessions. With the Pavesled™ you can be certain you are working the exact muscles in the exact way they will be recruited to apply skating force-forcefully! The Pavesled™ was invented by a hockey player for hockey players. No other single device can do for you all that the Pavesled™ can. It is the single most effective training device ever created to help you become an extremely powerful forward, backward, and circular skater with explosive acceleration. It works!
