A player’s ability to go from zero to full speed in as little time as possible, to react quicker than their opponents, and to dig deep and find a faster gear while in mid-stride, are what separate the hockey great from the good. This camp focuses exclusively on that kind of greatness, SHORT BURST SPEED; the kind of speed that is synonymous with “impact player“ and makes everyone else look ordinary.
It takes an average of 50,000 repetitions to change a kinetic memory. That means that unless an athlete repeats a corrected motion again and again until it becomes thoughtless, old habits won’t die. That is why other camps don’t work, and exactly why this one does.
EXPLODE is 7 hours a day! For 5.5 of those hours each exercise and every unique piece of training equipment exclusively targets SHORT BURST SPEED. With a total commitment to this single skill both on and off the ice, there is no other training opportunity like this in the sport of hockey. EXPLODE simply makes players faster!

Wendy Marco- Wendy’s patented training equipment is producing faster skating in the NHL and beyond, and her DVD and syndicated columns are changing the way coaches everywhere run skating practice, but before all of that, it was her totally original approach to explosive speed training that vaultedher to ‘hockey skating expert’ status. She brings her signature metronome system, reflex belts, start ramp, and more proven speed drills to EXPLODE!
Peter Friesen- The imperative off-ice component is designed and led by legendary strength and conditioning coach, Pete Friesen. Pete is renowned for his insane motivational style, acute attention to detail, and superior knowledge of kinetics. To say that his methods are effective is a severe understatement…. As the strength and conditioning coach and trainer of the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes he trained his team of athletes to the playoffs 4 times, the Stanley Cup finals twice, and was part of the coaching team that brought home the Cup in ‘06!
Extraordinarily effective drills, speed-targeted equipment, concentrated training on 1 specific vital skill, and 2 of the greatest skills coaches in the sport of ice hockey…
