Coach
Kevin Neeld

Over the last 10 years, hockey has changed.

The game is faster, and the players are quicker, stronger, and better conditioned than ever before.

Simply, as the game changes, so too must the preparation.

Unfortunately, most players don’t have access to a quality hockey-specific strength and conditioning coach or facility.

You, like many players, may have to resort to borrowing old programs handed down from your friend older siblings' former junior or college team, or searching around the internet for exercises that internet experts claim are the best for hockey players.

Even worse, you may be following the perpetual trend of high school students to use old school body building methods that have almost no application to on-ice improvements. If Monday is “Chest Day”, I’m talking to you!

There is a monstrous disconnect between what youth, junior, and even some college players are doing and the programs of the top collegiate and professional teams.

The reality is that most youth players:

Don’t train at all or simply don't train in a way that will make them a better hockey player.

I'm giving you the opportunity to access a training program that will make a difference on the ice!

Develop Speed and Quickness
“Having the ability to create time and space has been crucial to my success. Kevin’s programs have helped me develop the speed and quickness I need to compete at the highest levels, and the conditioning to continue pushing the pace late in games. If you’re looking to fulfill your potential on the ice, Kevin is the guy to help you get there.” -Johnny “Hockey” Gaudreau

Push Past Possible
"As a professional athlete, training with Kevin has given me the guidance and programs to train at an elite level. Over the past 5 years I continue to learn more about my body and how far it can be pushed. Through his programs I have seen significant gains that I have noticed on and off the ice. His attention to detail has helped me maintain my body and prevent injuries." -Eric Tangradi
