Our goal is to create a well rounded athlete, to create better hockey players! We worked on first step acceleration, force, and power production with our athelets.
Our Summer training program is in full swing. The athletes worked on acceleration, force, and power production through a specialized speed development session out on the turf.

Drink yo' water this summer!
Not just to refresh and quench thirst but also to ensure your muscles are getting enough electrolytes.
Here's some food for thought - Bodybuilding.com writes " A 2% drop in body water can cause a small but critical shrinkage of the brain, which can impair neuromuscular coordination, decrease concentration, and slow thinking. Dehydration can also reduce endurance, decrease strength, cause cramping, and slow muscular response."
So pour yourself another water so that you can stay in prime condition during the hot summer months.
Sometimes you have to go slow to get fast!

Our Director of Fitness, strongly believes in the athlete-centred model of training. The core principle being that athletes should get to have ownership over their development.
One way that VInce practices this is through "Choose Your Own Adventure" exercise mapping. Working with our athletes directly, Vince and the group build a workout that is enjoyable and engaging with on-the-spot feedback from the athletes. The result? A pretty awesome workout and motivated/interested/engaged athletes.
