Our sold out summer hockey program wrapped up at the end of August, and although we’re a little behind on sharing this, we couldn’t let it pass without celebrating the athletes who trained with us this summer.

Every coach and trainer here at Caveman Strong is proud of the hard work, focus, and determination each of you put in. The effort you gave will carry over into your season (as discussed often throughout the summer) and we can’t wait to see you succeed on the ice this year.

We wish you all the best in your 2025 hockey season! Remember, you’re always welcome to reach out if you need support throughout the year or if you’d like to continue training with us to keep building on your progress.

5 Tips to Carry Into Your Season

1- Fuel Your Body Right!!
Consistent meals with quality protein, carbs, and healthy fats will keep your energy steady and help recovery after games and practices.

2- Prioritize Recovery
Sleep is your secret weapon. Aim for 8–9 hours to let your body repair, build strength, and stay sharp on the ice.

3-Keep Training
Strength and conditioning shouldn’t stop when the season starts. Even 2 short sessions a week off the ice will help you stay strong and explosive all season long.

4- Stay Consistent
Progress comes from showing up, not perfection. Stick to your routines, even when schedules get busy, and trust the work you put in.

5-Ask for Support
Coaches and trainers are here for you. If you hit a roadblock with training, nutrition, or confidence, reach out, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Best of luck to all of you
Caveman Strong Team

Hockey players put in hours of training and practice, but without the right fuel, recovery and performance can fall short.

I put together this Nutrition & Hydration Guide for Hockey Parents to make it simple:
✅ What a balanced meal looks like
✅ How many servings per day kids need
✅ Hydration timing & the best electrolyte options
✅ Nutrient-dense swaps that make a difference
✅ Why sleep & recovery are just as important as practice

Small, consistent habits off the ice = stronger, faster, more focused athletes on the ice.

I’ve asked the boys tonight how they can personally improve their nutrition on their own and how they can improve their recovery. They all had great answers and knew exactly what they needed to do.

📌 Save this guide and use it to set your kids up for a successful year ahead.

Week 2 – Nutrition for Athletes

This week we took a deeper dive into macronutrients and their role in athletic performance. We reviewed what makes a complete meal and why eating protein at every meal is crucial not just for muscle synthesis, but also for recovery, immune system, energy, and overall health. We talked about protein bioavailability and shared simple ways to build a complete meal without relying on parents- like learning how to scramble two eggs as a quick, powerful option. We discussed quick carbs and slow carbs and the timing around games, during games and after.

The boys were quizzed on how they would fuel for a two-game day (11am and 6pm) when to eat, what to eat, and how to maximize energy for both games.

We also looked at how to make better, nutrient-dense food choices: choosing colourful, vibrant foods over bland, nutrient-poor ones.

Finally, we discussed the importance of self-awareness:
• Recognizing if they feel flat during a game, after or next day.
• Identifying if it’s due to missing nutrition, lack of sleep, poor hydration or weakened immune system.
• Taking accountability and making changes so they’re better prepared next time.

It’s all about learning to fuel your body, listen to the feedback it gives you, and make the adjustments needed to perform at your best.

Next week, we’ll dive into micronutrients and key minerals, create a 3-day meal plan, and break down hydration strategies, including the best timing for fluids around games and practices

Today’s nutrition session with the girls.

We explored the terms: diet, nutrition, and balanced meals. We also talked about what it means to eat in a balanced, sustainable way. We also discussed the downsides of labeling foods as “good” or “bad,” and emphasized the importance of focusing on overall balance rather than restriction.

The Objective:
By the end of this session, the athletes understood:
• what macronutrients are (protein, carbs, fat).
• Understood how each macronutrient supports their performance, energy, and recovery.
• Learnt how to build a balanced plate for training and game days and for overall health.

I look forward to session #2 next week
