The Skating Lab Toronto

Summer is the best-kept secret in player development. Less pressure, more focus, and we actually have time to work with you properly.
Here's what's happening at ProStride this June:

Our online store is now open. Gear, accessories, and everything you need — shop anytime at prostrideskatinglab.ca/

Bring a friend, and you both win. Your friend gets our 2-for-1 intro deal — two treadmill sessions for the price of one. You get a free session just for bringing them in. June Only!~

Free sharpening after every treadmill session in June. Work on your stride and leave with sharp blades, at no extra charge.

PA Day — Friday, June 6th, we are open 10 am to 6 pm. Great day to bring the kids in while school is out.

Two or three sessions this summer can change how you skate into tryouts. We diagnose your stride, break it down, and build it back. That's what we do that nobody else does.

Slots are open, but they won't stay that way.

THE STORY...⁠
⁠
17 points to 44 points. Same player. Same training. One session with us. 👇⁠
⁠
In 2019, Kole Lind's strength and conditioning coach called us over at a skate, and he was stumped. Kole was putting in elite work in the gym, the numbers were there. But none of it was showing up on the ice.⁠
⁠
Within five minutes of watching him skate, we knew exactly why.⁠
⁠
His skates were too long, too wide, and his blades were misaligned for his stride. He'd worn that model since junior. Felt comfortable. Felt right. So he never questioned it. ⁠
⁠
That's the trap. Comfort and correct are not the same thing.⁠
⁠
🚫 BEFORE: Every stride, Kole was landing on the outside edge instead of the middle of the blade. Wobbling where he should have been driving. His own skates were robbing him — shift after shift — and he had no idea.⁠
⁠
2018-19 AHL: 5G · 12A · 17 pts in 51 games⁠
⁠
💊 THE FIX: Proper skate sizing. Blade alignment corrected to suit his stride. One session. That's it.⁠
⁠
✅ AFTER: Landing on the right part of the blade. Clean push. Real power transfer. The player that was already in him finally had the equipment to match.⁠
⁠
2019-20 AHL: 14G · 30A · 44 pts in 61 games⁠
⁠
He went on to become the regular-season scoring leader for the Firebirds and reach the AHL Finals in 2024.⁠
⁠
This is not a rare story. We see it at every level — from AAA to the NHL. Players who've skated their whole careers in equipment that was never truly right for them.⁠
⁠
The fix is almost always the same three things, in this order:⁠
→ Proper skate fit⁠
→ Blade alignment⁠
→ Blade profiling⁠
⁠
Coaches — if your players are working hard and the production isn't matching the effort, this is worth a look.⁠
