Skating & training space
Revolution Skatable Tiles
For the player who wants to bring their skating practice home.
Better skating starts with repetition. HockeyShot Revolution Skatable Tiles create a synthetic ice surface where players can work on skating movements, puck control, and shooting without needing a trip to the rink. Add edging to help contain pucks and create a more complete home training area.
It's a gift that makes it easier to get extra practice in and keep developing between ice times.
All-Star Dryland Tiles
For the player who wants more room to work on their skills.
Create a dedicated off-ice training space with HockeyShot All-Star Dryland Tiles. The smooth surface is ideal for stickhandling, passing, and shooting drills, while edging helps keep pucks in the training area.
It's a versatile foundation for a home setup, whether the player is just starting to train off the ice or building a more advanced practice zone.
Shooting
Crowd Goes Wild Shooting Tarp
For the player who never wants to stop shooting.
Give them a place to let it rip. The Crowd Goes Wild Shooting Tarp helps protect the surrounding area from stray pucks while creating a dedicated spot to practise wrist shots, snap shots, and quick releases.
Comes in different sizes. Set it up with a compatible goal and training surface to make shooting practice part of the daily routine.
Indestructible Goal
For the player who brings serious power to every shot.
A dedicated shooting setup needs a goal that can handle hard work. HockeyShot's Indestructible Goal features a heavy-duty steel frame designed for demanding shooting sessions.
It's an excellent centrepiece for a backyard, driveway, or garage training area, giving players a target to aim for as they work on power and precision.
Snipes Electronic Shooting Targets
For the player who wants to pick corners, not just shoot harder.
Power is only part of the equation. Snipes makes shooting practice interactive with electronic targets, game modes, and performance tracking through the HockeyShot app.
Players can challenge themselves to hit targets, improve accuracy, and compete against friends while working on shot placement and reaction time.
SpeedScan Radar
For the player who's always chasing a harder shot.
Every shooter wants to know how hard they shoot. SpeedScan Radar provides immediate feedback on shot speed, letting players measure their performance and track progress as they work on technique and power.
Use it to establish a baseline, test improvements, and see whether the latest training session delivered a new personal best.
Passing
Extreme Passer
For the player who wants crisper passes and cleaner receptions.
Great passing can change a game. HockeyShot's Extreme Passer helps players practise passing and receiving on their own, using a return system to send the puck back for the next repetition.
Work on quick exchanges, backhand passes, and one-timers while building the consistency needed to move the puck confidently under pressure.
Stickhandling
Dangles
For the player who wants their hands to keep up with their imagination.
Dangles brings interactive technology to stickhandling practice with responsive sensing zones, multiple game modes, and app-connected performance tracking.
Players can challenge themselves to react faster, improve coordination, and develop better puck control through engaging drills that make practice feel like a game.
SuperDeker Competition
For the player who loves competition as much as improvement.
The new SuperDeker Competition combines interactive stickhandling training with 25 game-based challenges that encourage players to react quickly, sharpen their puck control, and keep pushing for a better score.
It's a great way to bring competitive energy into home training while making skill development something players genuinely look forward to.
Dangle Puck
For the player who wants extra reps whenever they can get them.
Sometimes, the simplest training tools become the most-used gifts. The Dangle Puck is designed for off-ice stickhandling practice, helping players work on puck control and quick movements on a suitable training surface.
It's a practical addition to an existing setup or a great starting point for a player building their off-ice routine.

Hockey gift FAQ
What do hockey players like as gifts?
Most players want more of the thing that makes them better: practice time. Training gear they can use at home, like a shooting tarp, synthetic ice or dryland tiles, a passer or an interactive stickhandling trainer, gets used all year instead of once.
What are some cool gifts for hockey players?
App-connected trainers are the standout picks this year. Snipes electronic targets light up the corners of the net, Dangles and the SuperDeker Competition turn stickhandling into scored games, and SpeedScan Radar tells a player exactly how hard they shoot.
What should I get a kid who loves hockey?
Start with something that lets them play at home right away. A Dangle Puck or Dangles Single Bar works in a basement or driveway, and a few dryland tiles give them a smooth surface. Game-style trainers keep younger players coming back for more reps.
What does every hockey player need to train at home?
Three things: a surface (synthetic ice, dryland tiles or a shooting pad), a target (a goal, with a tarp behind it to protect the wall) and a puck that glides off ice. Add a passer or a stickhandling trainer once the basics are in place.
Can you skate on synthetic ice at home?
Yes. Revolution Skatable Tiles are built for skating, so players can work on edges and movements, as well as puck control and shooting, without a trip to the rink. All-Star Dryland Tiles are made for stickhandling, passing and shooting, not skating.
What is a good hockey gift under $50?
The Dangle Puck ($29.99) is an easy stocking stuffer that adds off-ice stickhandling touches. You can also browse the full gifts under $49 collection.
