Built for hockey players, by hockey players.
Jason and Annelie Kvisle have spent 49 combined years in Australian hockey: local, state, national and international ice. The lab is their answer to a problem they lived with for two decades: serious development was hard to come by outside of weekly ice time.
Every piece of kit at VPL was specified, tested and chosen to give players a way to put in real reps when the rink isn't an option. The brief is simple. Train smarter. Build confidence. Enjoy the journey.
