Book a Skating Treadmill LessonWhat is Treadmill Training?
A hockey treadmill, skating treadmill, or skatemill is specialized training equipment adapted for hockey. It features a larger surface with synthetic ice that moves beneath the skater, mimicking the friction and feel of ice while also providing a consistent, controlled environment to focus on players' skating technique.
Barnburner Hockey Academy offers two state-of-the-art skating treadmills side by side, allowing players to pass and shoot in stride while on the skate treadmill. Live video delay, AI-powered skating analysis, and multiple cameras give players unprecedented feedback and learning opportunities. Precise speed and incline adjustments make the skate treadmill a great tool for conditioning and muscle development.

How Barnburner’s Treadmill Training Stands Apart
Barnburner’s treadmills are licensed from a European supplier called HDTS, which has built over 50 hockey training facilities worldwide. We are the first location in Canada to deploy their cutting-edge hardware and software. Our treadmill training setup stands apart for several reasons:
- Real-time and post-session stride analysis: Each session uses two cameras and three screens to capture every movement. Coaches can pause, rewind, and closely review each stride for detailed, actionable feedback.
- AI-enhanced Video Analysis: Following the initial session, skaters receive an AI-driven analysis that dissects each component of the skater's stride for targeted improvement.
- Unique dual-treadmill setup: As the only side-by-side treadmill configuration in Ontario, our setup allows players to perform passing and shooting drills while in stride—closely simulating real-game skating.
- Ample space for shooting: Skating on the treadmill is complemented by our large training platform and a sensor-equipped net facilitating competitive shooting exercises.
- Exclusively private sessions offered: For those seeking uninterrupted focus, sessions can be booked privately, giving skaters the full attention of their coach without outside distractions.
