How Do You Want To Use The Lab?

There’s no one right way to use the Lab. Train with a coach, work on something by yourself, bring some friends, introduce your kids to hockey, or just come shoot pucks because you miss the game.

  1. Train With A Coach

    Coaching Sessions

    Book a scheduled session with one of our coaching partners for skating, shooting, puck skills, and player development.

  2. Drop In And Play

    Open Lab

    A block of open time to use the Lab your way. Get reps, shoot, stickhandle, compete, or try the equipment for the first time. No coach, lesson, or team needed, and never played before is okay too.

    View Open Lab
  3. Your Time. Your Way.

    Rent A Station

    Reserve RapidShot, RapidHands, the skating treadmill, or a synthetic ice area for yourself or a small group. Practice seriously, chase a high score, challenge your friends, or just shoot around.
