Attack Triangle History

The ATTACK TRIANGLE started as an idea in 1994 while Rene Cranston, our CEO, was coaching a AAA Hockey Team. During the early part of the season he realized during drills, that most of the players didn't understand the very basic idea of "attacking the triangle" - the shape formed by touchpoints to the ice of the opponent's skates and stick.

Since 94 Rene has gone on to coach at a variety of levels working with players, coaches and professional instructors all over the world.  With the release of the Triangle in 2000 TTP Sports has been fortunate to work with Teams from the NHL and national programs from Russia to Canada.  As the Triangle continues its run towards becoming the standard training obstacle its goal remains to replace the road cone in all practice settings.

Rene Cranston

Born in MN Rene playing experience includes semi professional play in North America and Europe.  After a brief time in the "real world" Rene returned to hockey where he has been gainfully employed since 1994. In 1996 he lead Seattle Junior Tier 1 team to the Pacific division title and its first of two USA Hockey National Championship appearances. More recently Rene has been directing the Milwaukee Winter Club Tier 2 program as its Arena and player Development Director.  In this position he has been instrumental in returning Winter Club to Division 1 status after slipping down to division 2 status for roughly 5 years.  Currently Winter Club is the smallest Division 1 program in Wisconsin. In 2007 Rene lead Winter Club's Pee Wee A team to the Central Division Championship, Winter Clubs first ever appearance, and finished a respectable 3rd losing to the eventual National Champions.

In addition to his development of the Winter Club Rene has been instrumental in helping Wisconsin Amateur Hockey Association with its supervision of USA Hockey coaching clinics, starting up the WAHA Cup for Pee Wee's and leading the charge for the development of the Wisconsin High School Elite League (WHSEL).  Through these initiatives players who have the desire to get better have been given an opportunity to improve under the guidance of professional coaching and against quality competition. In its first season WHSEL had a team win the Tier 2 Wisconsin title which went on to represent Wisconsin at the Central Division Championship.  In its second year of operation WHSEL clearly is developing a reputation for high quality teams with low cost and travel making it very appealing to the best High School players in Wisconsin.
