DriBlades are the first product to enable players to wear their skates while training off-ice.
SASKATOON, Saskatchewan, July 11, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Alien Kinetics Technologies came out of stealth today, announcing the launch of its first training product, DriBlades off-ice training blades. DriBlades off-ice training blades are skate blades for off-ice training, designed to maximize an athlete's strength, flexibility, and balance.
Alien Kinetics is the vision of co-founders Kelly Riou, a renowned hockey trainer, and Zenon Dragan, an already very successful innovator.
Riou is a former professional hockey player who, after his career, earned a degree in Kinesiology. In 2012, Riou opened a private gym in Saskatoon, SK, that has become the off-season training home to many NHL players, including several Stanley Cup winners.
My job as a specialized hockey trainer is to help my guys maximize their on-ice performance by doing everything we can to get stronger and faster, said co-founder Kelly Riou. How do you get better on your skates? You train in your skates.
One of the most significant issues for hockey players across North America is the lack of ice time available. The DriBlades off-ice training blades technology reverses that equation by targeting specific skating muscles and significantly improving a hockey player's performance by training in their skates while off the ice.
DriBlades off-ice training blades are the culmination of years of research and development, said co-founder Zenon Dragan. Our blades enhance dry-land training by replicating the biomechanical and physical effects of practicing on ice. By providing an unstable surface, we allow athletes to train like they play, targeting a player's skating-specific muscles and leading to improved performance.
