Strength & COnditioning

Solid Athletic Performance in the game of hockey requires multiple skill sets for players to be successful. Players need strength, power, speed (acceleration and deceleration), quickness, stability, and mobility to properly execute on the ice. Combining all of these skill sets into a properly designed training program will help players develop muscle groups to help decrease the risk of injury, as well as improve their overall athletic performance. All off-ice activities and drills will be intentional and focused to improve agility, footwork, leg strength, core strength, speed and explosiveness. These modes of training will be challenging, fun, and most importantly, age-appropriate to ensure safety.

Throughout the year, off-ice programs will be offered to maximize Athletic Performance on and off the ice. Playing the game of hockey down low, with proper knee bend, allows your player to be more explosive, more agile, and faster. Examples of exercises to improve include, but are not limited to; box jumps, agility ladders, plyometric activities, and bounding will be incorporated into the regimen based on the time of year. In-season will be more reps with less load to maintain and promote muscle recovery. Off-season training will develop the base and core of the athlete, to make your player stronger and faster for their desired sport.
