SKY RINK

A NOTE FROM THE GM

Dear Sky Rink Friends and Families:

This past year we celebrated our 20th Anniversary at Chelsea

Piers. It was wonderful to reflect on the amazing customers

who have continuously made Sky Rink their home away from

home. While we have undergone a number of renovations

and improvements throughout the years, our commitment to

providing skaters of all ages and abilities with state-of-the-

art facilities and the highest level of instruction available has

remained our top priority.

We are constantly looking for ways to enhance our current

programming options. In the spring of 2015 we introduced

the CP 61s travel program. This year we will continue to

build upon this new model while exploring additional ways

to improve many of our other programs, including Top Shelf,

Junior and Elite Prep and Summer Champions Camp.

We are also excited to introduce our brand new Sky Rink

registration system, making its debut in the summer of 2016.

All customers will be required to create a new account in

order to sign up for all programming in the future. This new

system will allow customers to track, sign up and pay for all

of their activities in one place.

We understand you have choices when it comes to skating

in New York City – thank you again for choosing Sky Rink.

While we work to improve every day, we are always eager for

any feedback or suggestions you may have.

We hope you are as excited as we are about the upcoming

year. See you on the ice!

Sincerely,

Jim Bugenhagen

ence and prepare them for the CP 61s travel program.

Program Highlights

• Low player-to-coach ratio

• Fun environment to meet the needs of young players

in order to move players to a higher level of skill

TOP SHELF HOCKEY TRAINING CENTER

Sky Rink’s Top Shelf Hockey Training Center is a state-of-the-art training space

designed for competitive youth (ages 6+) and adult hockey players. With the

latest generation of equipment and proven training protocols, Top Shelf Hockey

offers unparalleled services and Athletic Republic-certified coaching for players

interested in taking their game to the next level.

Skate Mill Speed & Strength Training

Players skate on our Athletic Republic-patented skating treadmill

using their own skates. The skating treadmill can reach speeds

of 16 MPH and an incline grade of 36.5 degrees. This machine,

combined with the short duration/high intensity sprinting

sequences that simulate hockey shifts, delivers the most sport-

specific conditioning program possible to every athlete that walks

into Top Shelf. Players are taught proper stride mechanics at high

speeds and learn to self-correct in three ways: real-time visual – by

training in front of a mirror; auditory – through the coach’s cues;

and video replay – through Dartfish video motion analysis. All

contribute to improved stride mechanics.

Skills Zone Shooting & Skills Development

Players improve their individual skills training on Top Shelf’s artificial

ice Skills Zone. Skill Development workouts include drills that

focus on stick handling, shooting, off-balance accuracy, soft hands,

passing, toe drags, dekes, shooting technique and power, obstacle

stick handling, puck control and goalie skills.

Private Lessons Individual & Group Lessons

Private lessons are available for both youth and adult hockey

players and are taught by our Athletic Republic-certified coaching

staff. Lessons can be taken individually or as a group.

Price may vary by coach.
