The Velocity Hockey Center is a 130 by 65 regulation hockey rink that is used primarily in the Spring and Fall for our 3 on 3 hockey leagues, in the summer for our Velocity Skate Hockey Clinics and in the winter for ice rentals to the wide variety of youth hockey associations for there team practices.
The Velocity Hockey Center is a unique hockey rink in that it is two thirds of the dimension of a regular ice sheet found in a typical Municipality setting. With the smaller ice dimensions at the Velocity Hockey Center this will force by nature to help enhance the development of a players all around hockey skills in the following ways:
• Players will handle the puck more which in a competitive small rink environment is going to develop better fundamental skills and a better understanding of the game.
• Players will develop faster read and react skills with and without the puck. The game is faster, which forces you to learn to “Think fast and play fast.”
• Players will develop quickness, lateral movement and transitional skating in the smaller ice surface.
• Players will work on and develop there shooting and passing skills due to the much higher tempo up and down game that creates many scoring opportunities for both teams.
• Players will be developing there skills and having fun in a different and unique environment. With that combination it is a very good thing!!
