GLHP Technology
Great Lakes Hockey Performance brings elite-level training technology to Western New York — tools previously available only at the highest levels of the game. Our technology stack is designed to measure, analyze, and accelerate player development in ways traditional training simply cannot match.
Skating Development
AK Hockey Skatemill
Train on One of Hockey's Most Advanced Skating Systems
The AK Hockey Skatemill is among the most advanced skating development technologies available today. Trusted by elite players worldwide, it isolates and improves the specific details that separate good skaters from great ones — details that are nearly impossible to address in a traditional practice setting.
The Skatemill allows coaches to observe and correct skating mechanics in real time, providing immediate feedback that accelerates improvement far beyond what standard on-ice sessions can deliver.
Areas of Focus:
- ›Stride efficiency
- ›Acceleration
- ›Edge control
- ›Balance and stability
- ›Power generation
- ›Overall skating mechanics
Great Lakes Hockey Performance is the only facility in the region offering AK Hockey Skatemill technology, with protected territorial rights within a 50-mile radius.
This exclusive access gives local athletes opportunities previously reserved for elite development centers — right here in Western New York.
Performance Analytics
Helios Hockey Analytics
See Your Progress. Track Your Improvement.
GLHP uses Helios Hockey wearable skating analytics to provide athletes with objective, measurable performance data. Instead of relying solely on observation and feel, players receive concrete numbers that show exactly how their skating is improving over time.
Helios wearables capture real-time skating data during sessions, giving coaches and athletes a detailed view of performance that simply isn't possible with the naked eye alone.
What Athletes Can Track:
- ›Identify strengths and areas for improvement
- ›Measure skating performance with objective data
- ›Set clear, trackable development goals
- ›Monitor growth across every training session
"The best athletes don't just train harder — they train smarter."
Shooting Development
Synthetic Shooting Lane Training
Sharpen Your Shot. Build Confidence.
GLHP's synthetic shooting lane provides a dedicated environment for focused shooting development. Athletes can work on their shot mechanics, release, and accuracy in a structured setting with professional coaching — without the limitations of shared ice time.
Repetition is the foundation of skill development. The shooting lane gives players the volume of quality reps needed to create lasting improvement in their shooting game.
Training Focus Areas:
- ›Shot technique and release mechanics
- ›Accuracy and targeting
- ›Release speed development
- ›Confidence under pressure
Why Technology Changes Everything
Traditional hockey training relies heavily on observation and feel — a coach watches a player skate and offers corrections based on what they see. While valuable, this approach has real limits. Small mechanical inefficiencies can go undetected for years, quietly holding a player back.
GLHP's technology stack changes that equation. The AK Hockey Skatemill isolates skating mechanics in a controlled environment. Helios analytics captures objective data that reveals what the eye can't always see. Together, they give coaches and athletes a complete, data-backed picture of performance.
The result is faster, more targeted development — with measurable proof of progress at every step.
"Development isn't about guessing. It's about measuring, improving, and repeating."
