OTTAWA, ONTARIO – An exciting new partnership between Speed Skating Canada and Firefly Recovery, a leader in innovative athletic recovery devices, will help Canada’s top speed skaters maintain peak performance throughout their demanding season by supporting daily recovery and reducing travel-related fatigue.
The small and portable Firefly Recovery device speeds up the body’s natural healing by increasing whole body blood flow, which helps accelerate recovery, reduce muscle soreness, and improve overall performance. Tailored to meet the unique needs of high performance athletes, Firefly Recovery’s revolutionary technology is currently incorporated into the recovery and travel routines of over 1,000 professional and collegiate teams, as well as Olympians and Paralympians across several different sports.
“In a sport where podium finishes are decided by fractions of a second, every advantage counts. That’s why we’re proud to bring Firefly Recovery’s innovative technology to Canada’s top speed skaters. These athletes train relentlessly, both on and off the ice, and maintaining peak physical condition throughout a long and demanding season is critical. Our support staff will use Firefly Recovery devices to help maximize recovery between training sessions and competitions, and to manage the physical toll of extensive international travel. We’re equally excited that speed skaters across our Canadian community will now have access to this cutting-edge recovery tool to support their performance and recovery.”Joe Morissette, Chief Executive Officer, Speed Skating Canada
As part of this partnership, Firefly Recovery will work closely with sport science staff at Canada’s national training centres in Montreal, Quebec City and Calgary to integrate their recovery technology into athletes’ training plans. This includes providing educational resources and personalized support to help athletes and staff maximize the benefits of Firefly Recovery devices.
