Travis 576 Report post Posted January 22, 2010 The Wings have one. I remember seeing a conditioning episode of Red Wings Live, or at least an interview, where Kris Draper went through his routines - one of which was to use the skating treadmill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted January 22, 2010 I still get weary about the synthetic ice and the impact it will have on my blades... they had one of these at my home rink back when I played travel hockey, but I never used it... always weirded me out... then again, this was 12 years ago, so the technology has probably greatly improves... still weirds me out though...

Jarret_G 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2010 They're use a lot with skate manufacturers to test products. Having a treadmill in the same building as the design team helps a lot, no need to transfer product to and from a rink for testing and they can operate on their own schedule.

tonyfranks16 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2010 Hey, i've been reading www.letsgowings.com for a few years now, and i do most of my viewing from work, which is why i haven't posted until now. I work at the ice rink in Troy, and the commercial you were talking about was for The Core, which is located inside our rink and owned by Kris Draper. Its a facility that specializes on building core strengths and other specialized training areas, which include all hockey strengths and other sports. I am a HS Hockey Coach and played AAA hockey and a little bit, small nuance of Juniors. I have worked out in the Core and used the skating treadmill for 2 years now, and let me say, its INTENSE, and well worth it. You'd be surprising how cheap the prices are. this is not solicitation, i believe in the Core, and I will be posting on the forum from now on! the website is: www.coresportsfitness.com take care, and i hope this information helps. till next time take care.

seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted January 22, 2010 I've used the one at Troy before. And I know Rochester used to have the synthetic ice, I'm not sure if they still do or not. I've been thinking about setting up a half rink or something using that stuff in my back yard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
