For Hockey Players:

This is your complete 13 week off-season workout program.
The program focuses on: Mobility, Strength, Speed, Power, Injury Prevention, and Conditioning.

With an Exercise Science degree, internships working with NHL players and top strength coaches, and 10 years of pro hockey experience, I know exactly what it takes to be in peak shape—for hockey and for life.

Strength
Whether you are battling in the corners, want a harder shot, or want to have a faster skating stride, then increasing strength is the key. This program puts a big emphasis on increasing strength!
benefit-image-1
Speed
Speed Kills!! In my opinion, besides hockey sense, speed is the biggest asset for a hockey player. Towards the second half and end of the off-season program, we integrate sprinting and more plyometrics to increase your speed!
benefit-image-2
Power
Hockey is a game of explosiveness. This program puts a huge emphasis on increasing your power! Train Slow, Play Slow.

Mobility
Mobility might not be the most glorious or fun thing to work on, but without good mobility, injuries are bound to happen. We will focus on increasing your mobility, and doing every exercises in deep full range of motion positions.

Conditioning
Hockey is a explosive and fast game that also requires you to recover between shifts and be well conditioned. Your new best friend during this program will be the assault bike ;)
