Frölunda Hockey

Eleiko worked closely with Frölunda Hockey, one of Sweden's leading ice hockey teams, to build a training facility that would meet all their needs to ensure effective and safe training and included a range of equipment from free weights to strength training machines.

One of Sweden’s leading ice hockey teams, Frölunda Hockey have been focusing on weight training for a number of years. Training incorporating free weights and barbells forms a key part of the team’s program, so when they decided to build a new training facility, partnering with Eleiko was the logical choice. Eleiko installed a complete gym, combining a wide range of free weights and functional training space with strength training machines adapted to the requirements of the sport.

Eleiko managed the project internally under Henrik Dagård, who has a background as an elite decathlete. Due to his know-how and sporting experience, Henrik is fully aware of the standards expected when it comes to equipment and the expertise of strength coaches.

Whether for injury prevention or strength or speed development, barbell drills incorporating Olympic lifts are of considerable benefit to athletes. Enhanced explosiveness allied with strength and mobility enables ice hockey players to achieve a higher level of performance.
