Ottawa 67's News Release


(Ottawa, Ontario, Canada): The Ottawa 67's Hockey Club and Dynamic Edge today jointly announced a business agreement to provide 67's players with visual skills training. Dynamic Edge utilizes a visual skills training system that results in increased peripheral awareness and faster recognition of objects. For athletes, this training facilitates faster reaction times and increased performance.

"Visual skills are vital to performance, and like any other skill, they can be improved and perfected with practice, said Karen Muncey, CEO of Dynamic Edge. "The Dynamic Edge system is being used by athletes in the NHL and CFL, and we're delighted to align with the 67's to help them improve visual recognition and performance in the OHL."

Dynamic Edge uses a proven visual skills training system known as the Sensory Motor Integration technique that has been perfected over the course of more than 23 years, and thousands of sessions with elite professional athletes and military tactical teams. The training system uses the "DynaVision" device, which was developed by Muncey while she was training the Edmonton Oilers and Edmonton Eskimos in their heyday.

"As a goaltending coach, I've worked with several goalies who have trained with Dynamic Edge," said 67's Goaltending Coach Tom Dempsey. "I see a big improvement in their ability to get a quick read on the release of the puck off the shooter's stick. In particular, their recognition of a high shot versus a low shot allows them that extra fraction of a second to make the appropriate response."

The Dynamic Edge training system focuses on developing visual skills such as peripheral awareness, speed and span of recognition, and visual reaction time using the DynaVision device. Dynamic Edge also provides the same training to local aspiring amateur athletes of all ages in many different sports. "We've seen tremendous interest from parents of kids as young as nine. The kids just love the training, and feel that they are getting a real edge on the other players" said Muncey.
