“When I walked into this expansive 1915 industrial space, with its energizing vibe, I knew that it would be the home for Northern California’s largest synthetic ice hockey training facility - EXTRA HOUR. Our goal is to provide the best possible hockey skill training options & elevate the development for every player, no matter their level, as they aspire to work towards their goals and highest potential."
- CATHY ANDRADE, Owner & Operator
"It’s been great to take development to a higher level with Cathy Andrade’s teaching and develop specific off-ice and on-ice training programs to help NHL players improve the skill of skating. Your off-ice training should complement what you do on the ice in the areas of speed, strength, balance, conditioning and coordination. Cathy provides the players that I work with in the off-season with specific drills that improve weaknesses and strength in single leg positions.”
- MIKE POTENZA
San Jose Sharks Director of Strengthening & Conditioning
