Craig, you wrote an article about the Coyotes "leading the pack" (sorry or the pun) in the NHL in the goalie department. Teams and especially writers that ignore this are simply showing their bias, which AZ has had to battle with continuously. This article, however, is a confirmation of that fact you wrote about. They bought that system, not cheap ($1700) for all 3 of their goalies. This is also a backhanded compliment that they included Adin Hill, am insight into what they think of him. They are definitely committed to doing all they can to strengthen this part of their team. Uhm, maybe the rest of the league should take notice.
More than skaters, goalies are at the mercy of having good shooters available to get in their reps and stay sharp. This sounds like a cheap and accessible alternative for off days (or weeks).
I’m surprised that there’s no talk of combining the SenseArena with synthetic ice. We had a few tiles of it for shooting pucks in our back yard, and while it definitely isn’t the same as being on the ice, it would be a lot better than the regular ground.
seems like a good neural training tool to stay mentally sharp and not put such a tool on the lower extremities and core. So glad Kuemper, Raanta and Hill all have it!
It’s amazing what advancing technology has done for all sports in general. Virtual training, advanced foot ware and equipment, playing surfaces, climate controls and performance laboratories. Not to mention as humans evolve, the bigger and stronger they get from generation to generation.
Athletes today in general are much better than those who preceded them. The athletes of tomorrow will be exponentially better than those of today.
I will say that’s not enough is still being done to test and expose the cheaters who exploit the advancing technology. Good write up Craig.

Nice to read about how the Coyotes are actually investing in something. A benefit of legitimate ownership.
