"The flooring turned out great. The quality is very good and the installation was easy. The surface is fantastic for shooting and stick handling. My kids love going down the basement to shoot or play a little one on one in the hockey room. The ordering process was easy and the customer service at Hockey Shot.com was nothing less than stellar."

“I purchased the practice tiles from hockeyshot a few months ago and all I can say is WOW! I had them put together in just a few minutes without any tools or additional equipment and my kids absolutely love playing on them....it’s just like practicing on real ice. Their shooting, passing and stick handling skills have skyrocketed ever since they have been using the practice tiles – my kids spend hours and hours everyday on their tiles practicing their skills. Thanks Hockeyshot for providing such an awesome product.

"Thank you HockeyShot, our basement hockey area is complete and we love it! The area is 8' x 24', cozy but very functional for shooting, stickhandling, passing and of course mini hockey games. We ordered HockeyShot dryland training flooring tiles, 4' x 4' hockey rink board panels, a speed trac X radar gun and 80 standard 6 oz pucks. The area was custom built by Niro Developments Ltd. in Calgary, constructed with 1/2" MDF board (virtually indestructible) and includes 3/8" plexiglass, two functional goal lights on a wireless remote control, built in speakers and sound system. Along with the adjacent gym area, it is the ultimate home hockey training area!"

"Thanks HockeyShot for such a great product! I would like to tell you that my son is very happy with the Dryland Training Tiles. Previously he would do his stick handling drills on cement and this was causing us to replace his sticks every other month due to the grinding down of the stick blade. The new tiles are really great and they allow him to feel like he is shooting and stick handling on ice. I would strongly recommend the product to others!"
Tom T., Santa Clarita, CA
"We were looking for the smoothest surface for our sons to practice their hockey skills at home, and the HockeyShot Dryland Tiles seemed like the perfect product. After installing them, we were really impressed with how smooth they were and how well the puck slides. Our sons absolutely love the surface and have been able to imrpove their hockey skills. Great product!"

Hockey Dryland Training Tiles Review
by HowToHockey.com
| As a hockey player it is important to practice shooting and stickhandling on a regular basis. The big problem that most hockey players have though is finding a suitable surface to stickhandle and shoot off of. The biggest problem with shooting and stickhandling on pavement or asphalt is the increased friction. This friction causes the pucks to move slower, and flip all over the place (very annoying). The friction also causes your stick blades to wear out pretty quickly (costs a lot to keep buying blades, or sticks). |

Shooting and Stickhandling Surfaces
|
|

A great solution is to find a nice smooth surface to shoot and stickhandle on. I have tried a lot of alternatives, but I find each cheap alternative will have a downfall in one way or another. I think that if you are serious about improving your shooting and stickhandling it is important to find a good surface to practice on.
One product that we have reviewed in the past was the hockey shooting pad we also did a video review of the roll-up shooting pad which I really liked. I think the roll up pad is the best option for a small area.

Quality of Material
The tiles are very sturdy feeling, on the top they feel very smooth, and on the bottom they have a cross pattern across the entire tile. The tiles are not overly rigid, and it doesn't seem like they would break or shatter with a slapshot (time will tell)
Setting up the Hockey Training Tiles
This was pretty easy, it took me a little while to figure it out, but I got it. I thought there was a special way to snap them together, but all you need to do is put the clip side over the ring side and then bash press them together. Each box has 10 tiles, and the tiles measure 18 inches by 18 inches, I set each box up as two rows of 5 tiles.
I would say 5 boxes would be enough for most areas like a garage or basement. It gave me a lot of room to stickhandle and practice dekes. I also added a few more toys from hockeyshot to give me a bit more to do.
On the right side is the attack triangle which is a substitute for a defencemen, and on left side, in the corner, we have the pass master. The passmaster will feed the puck back to you if you pass into it. We also have a weighted hockey puck, and a Green Biscuit which is my favourite off ice puck! Check out the video to see them all in action.
Stickhandling and Shooting on the Training Tiles
Stickhandling
I practiced a variety of moves on the shooting tiles, first I just did some basic stickhandling with a regular hockey puck, then moved on to quicker dekes, and toe drags. The tiles held up well too all of my abuse, I was darting back and foreth, moving the puck quickly in all directions and taking a few quick snap shots to finish the move off. The tiles did not come apart at all and most importantly, the puck did not get caught on any edges. I was really impressed at how smoothly the tiles fit together.
Shooting
I was told that you can drive a car onto the tiles and they will not break, so they better be able to withstand the force of a stick while taking a slapshot (I tested both). With 5 boxes of tiles there was plenty of room to take a wristshot, snapshot, and slapshot. I took a bunch of slapshots and did not feel the tiles move at all, and there was no damage either.
Compared to other products
I really like the roll-up shooting pad which is 4 feet wide by 8 feet long and costs $110. With the roll up shooting pad you get the most shooting and stickhandling area for your buck. A box of 10 training tiles costs $119.50 and gives you 3 feet by 7.5 feet, but the big advantage to the tiles is that you can buy more down the road and increase the area.
Score sheet - Overall Thoughts
I think that these tiles definitely live up to expectations.
-
They were nice and sturdy
-
They fit together nicely with no raised edges
-
The puck and the Green Biscuit slid very well
-
Easy to set up
I would recommend these to anyone who has a garage, basement, or flat open area and wants to start a cool place to practice stickhandling and shooting. Only one question remains thoughˇ. can you drive a car on it, you will have to watch the video to find out!
Hockey Training Tiles Video Review
In this video we test out the training tiles and show you how well the pucks slide, how to set up the tiles, and if we can park a car on them
