Training with HeadsUP makes you less dependent on your eyesight for stick handling. You'll be able to rely more on the feel of the puck and muscle memory, allowing your eyes to be on what's important... The defenders, your teammates, or the net. HeadsUP! neither restricts head movement nor adds weight to your stick, making the repetitions of practice easy to carry over to your on ice situation. HeadsUP! doesn't waste valuable ice time. It folds under to restore full vision: ability to practice as normal without removal, it can be easily manipulated with gloves on.
Can also be used to train defense to play the body instead of the puck.
If you're not the best stick handler on your team, you could be, and if you are, you could be better! Practice with HeadsUP! and you will notice increased confidence with the puck and better vision on the ice.

Product Testimonials:
"The Heads-up training tool is an excellent device for coaches and players to use to develop better feel for the puck. If a player cannot feel the puck on their stick then they will not be free to scan the ice for the best available decision - where to pass or shoot. I recommend that players and coaches use this tool on-ice and during dryland training (with a helmet) to improve their feel for the puck and increase their ability to see the game and...keep their head-up!"
Sean Skinner, Professional Stickhandling Instructor
"The "91" USA Eagles use the HeadsUP! training devices to assist in developing the puck handling skills of our players. Until players are able to feel the puck on their sticks, they will not consistently skate with their heads up. The HeadsUP! product helps us develop this skill in our players."
Mike Costello, Head Coach , "91" USA Eagles
"We use the HeadsUp training device in our Canton Mini-Mite team practices. The product is easy to attach and remove from any mask or cage. The HeadsUp product challenges our players to develop the proper puck handling skills."
Mario Macari, Head Coach, Canton Wings
"As a trainer of hockey players from mites-NHL players I am always looking for ways to help improve my players development. The Heads Up product is an excellent device to use in the development of players at any age. I highly recommend it to any player who wants to play Better Hockey."
