Great NHL stick handlers and shooters all have the NHL Advantage: specialized shooting knowledge, optimal stick specs and great technique.
Cliff Ronning and Al Iafrate formed Base Hockey (with their 33 years of NHL experience) to bring the NHL-Advantage to you!
Since your shot happens in 1/4 of a second, Base uses high speed video to analyze your shot, determine your optimal specs, and teach you the proper shooting technique.
BASE technicians will be on hand during AHT 2012 to provide you with the stick that is best suited for you, this will change the way you shoot and handle the puck forever!

Al Iafrate - The Base Experience
- High speed video analysis to determine your optimal flex, blade curve, lie, and stick size/length
- Demo the stick with the recommended specs. All demos are with your skates on skating synthetic ice!
- Shooting Instruction
This personalized shooting analysis uses high speed video analysis that records at a rate of 1000 (one thousand) frames per second.
Base's fitting team then determines the player's optimal stick specification and records the video which you will receive in the days following the session.
Your video will be analysed against Al Iafrate's (or another BASE Pro) and you can see side-by-side your shot compared to a 3 x NHL Skills Competition, Hardest Shot Champion!!!
Acres Hockey is very excited to add this highly beneficial component to our program in 2012.
