We at the El Paso Rhinos Training Center have developed a system that will improve forwards, defensemen and goaltenders overall skating, skills, strength and conditioning. Look no further. You will see improvements in your game quicker than you have ever experienced while training within our system.

"The EDGE" Skating Treadmill

"The EDGE" is the leader of its class. This state of the art machine is the best skating treadmill in the world. The skating surface is 7 ft wide by 6 ft long. The surface is a UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weighted) Plastic. We coat this surface with a silicone that is easy on the skates and feels just like ice. With the proper instruction you can create positive muscle memory ingraining strong technique that will stay with you forever. The force of the UHMW moving toward our skaters will make it difficult to skate on at first. You can compare this feeling to swimming against a current, once the body builds enough strength and it gains more comfort on the EDGE is when we take our players to a whole new level of speed and explosive power. Shooting and stickhandling while skating on the EDGE is the ultimate challenge. The EDGE will not allow skaters to stop their feet while passing, shooting or performing the many puck handling moves that we will be challenging our players with. This is the most leading edge piece of technology in the skating treadmill world today.  We personally guarantee that any player that trains within our system will gain more improvement in their game than they have ever experienced!

TOUCHEYE™ Video Analysis System

Now you can have immediate video response at your fingertips DURING your training sessions.  The ideal Training Cycle can now be achieved thanks to the TOUCHEYE™ system.  The days of having to leave the practice area to go analyze your video on a computer in the office or wait to review the video until the next day or next week are over.  With TOUCHEYE™, everything takes place in real-time just a few feet away on a huge 23-inch touch screen system that works just like an "iPhone". Simple drag and drop fingertip controls make it easy to use for everyone. Get the edge on your competition today. 
  All members will be given a skate analysis after each session on the “Edge” skating treadmill.  The “Edge” skating treadmill is also equipped with laser stride analysis modules which helps the skater correct his/her stride as they are skating.  Each member of the El Paso Rhinos Training Center will have a personal web link which they can review their skating session and training log.  DVD’s can also be given to the player upon request.
