The Attack Triangle PRO is one of the best training devices to develop stickhandling, moving the puck around a defenders skates and creating great scoring opportunities in game like situations. The Attack Triangle forces players to develop their puck skills in tight areas and improves their stickhandling ability.
Product features:
-
The interactive Attack Triangle is designed to challenge players by replicating the positioning of an opponents skates and stick.
-
With the open "lane" between the simulated skates and extending stick, the Attack Triangle forces players to develop puck movement skills, stickhandling ability and an understanding of passing lanes.
-
By using the Attack Triangle at home or in replacement of ordinary cones at practice, players naturally start working on more creative "moves".
-
In addition to providing more interaction than cones during practice on ice, the Attack triangle comes equipped with mooring pins which virtually eliminate sliding.
- The Professional Attack Triangles come with extra cleats (spikes) under the legs and stick to hold better on the ice. They also come with 2 fasteners to attach the legs that hold it together that the basic single units don't have which keep the Attack Triangle from coming apart.
Attack Triangle Testimonials:
"Having a nationally televised Power Skating and Hockey training show, "Hockey Academy", and a highly sought after International Power Skating and Hockey School in 5 countries , I am somewhat skeptical of new gimmicky products. The ATTACK TRIANGLE, however, is an exceptional product that I use in all my schools worldwide and on my television show. It will help absolutely everyone that uses it regardless of age or skill level. My NHL clients enjoy training with them just as much as my younger players. It is the next generation of on/off ice training obstacle that is a absolute necessity for all players, coaches and parents . You can catch me on Hockey Academy presented by the NHL and CHA weekly on the NHL Network. Check your local Canadian cable provider for times in your area."
Steve Serdachny, Power Skating International
"Using the Attack Triangle is great because it really simulates game situations and the kids can better understand why they need to skate hard in the drills. Their intensity is much higher and you can see they are really working harder and becoming much more creative with it. We will be using it from now on ."
Robby Glantz International Power Skating
"Not only do I bring my own Attack Triangles to the camps I teach throughout the country. I also recommend that the programs and players I work with get them as soon as they can because of the advantages it gives the players who use it over those who don't period. "
Peter Dale, USA Clinics
"The Attack Triangle was an instant hit with all of our kids. We would highly recommend this product to any ice or inline player from mite to college. Our staff of professional, college, and high school players have also found the product to be both challenging and fun."
Todd Drevitch, Hockey Techniques Schools
Attack Triangle Review
by HockeyReviewHQ.com
This weeks featured product is the Attack Triangle. This is a hockey training aid that will help you become more creative and develop new moves. A lot of hockey players will practice stickhandling at home and on the ice, we usually set up a line of pucks or pylons to stickhandle around. The Attack Triangle provides a more game like obstacle.
Purpose - The purpose of the Attack Triangle is to provide a game like obstacle. Using pylons or pucks gives hockey players something to stickhandle around, but the Attack Triangle provides “lanes” like under the stick and through the legs. This obstacle will encourage hockey players to think of and practice new moves and be more creative.
Price - The Attack Triangle sells for $29.95 on HockeyShot.com, they also have options for a “professional” version that sells for $59.95 for a 2 pack. The pro model is made for heavier use and will work better on the ice.
What You Get - The Attack Triangle comes in five pieces that easily fit together to form the shape of a players skates and stick. For added re-enforcement you can put in some screws that also come with the Attack Triangle.
How It Works
Well this is an easy one, put the Attack Triangle wherever you want on or off the ice and practice any move you can think of. Some moves off the top of my head are simple fakes, the double deke, under the stick, over the blade (forehand and backhand), toe drag around the blade, between the legs, inside out, and the backhand toe drag. If I had the option between a pylon or the Attack Triangle I would definitely pick the triangle!
Who Would Benefit from the Attack Triangle? – This would be a really good training aid to use if you have a few kids that play hockey, or if you have regular backyard hockey games. This can also be used off the ice for ball hockey and off-ice training. If you, or your kids practice stickhandling on a regular basis then the Attack Triangle would be a nice addition to your hockey training aid collection.
Attack Triangle Review
Assembly – It was really easy to put the Attack Triangle together, there were five pieces and each one easily fit together (using male and female ends) if you want to really keep them in place you can use screws, but I just pushed the pieces together so it would be easier to dis-assemble later
Does it Work – The concept of the Attack triangle is so simple that it would be hard for it not to work. The triangle was fun to use as opposed to a pylon or a row of pucks. The odd time I would hit the Attack Triangle and a piece would come off so I would have to put it back together, I guess I should have installed those screws afterall!
Overall Thoughts
Penalty Box
There are not to many things that I could find wrong with the triangle, it is so simple that it is hard to find a fault. The only thing that I could think of is that it sells for $30, you would think that a few plastic pieces would sell for much less.
