New off-ice skate blade technology has been unveiled with the aim of helping hockey players train their bodies better when they're on the ice. Longtime trainer Kelly Riou and partners have developed DriBlades that can replace ice blades for lifting and other dryland training. Stanley Cup champion Chandler Stephenson is among the NHL players who train with Riou and have already tried out the blades. (AP Photo/David Becker, File)
