TMX Athletics

At TMX Athletics, every aspect of training is guided by one question:

How will this help the athlete perform on the ice?

From speed and power to coordination, force transfer, movement efficiency, and repeated sprint ability, our focus is developing the qualities that hockey demands.

Every exercise has a purpose.
Every session has a goal.

To help athletes perform at a higher level when the game demands it most.

The only truly sport-specific activity is the sport itself.

The role of sports performance training is not to replicate the sport in the gym.

The purpose of physical preparation is to develop physical qualities such as:
• strength
• power
• speed
• coordination
• tissue capacity
• force production
• force transfer

Sport requires athletes to:
• produce force
• absorb force
• redirect force
• reapply force

All under constantly changing:
• postures
• velocities
• force directions
• movement demands

As movement speed and complexity increase, performance becomes increasingly dependent on:
• intermuscular coordination
• timing
• dynamic stabilization
• force sharing
• efficient force transfer across the body

—not simply isolated muscle output.

No physical preparation method can perfectly predict transfer.

The sport itself will always be the primary source of sport-specific adaptation.

The question is not whether a gym exercise IS the sport.

The question is whether training develops physical qualities under demands that are more likely to transfer back to athletic performance.

Sports science consistently shows that adaptation is influenced by:
• posture
• force direction
• velocity
• stabilization demands
• coordination
• movement constraints

This does NOT mean training should attempt to “copy” the sport.

Rather, movement-based loading strategies can be used to create adaptation under different postures, velocities, force directions, stabilization demands, and movement environments relevant to athletic performance.

The goal is not to imitate sport in the gym.

The goal is to develop physical qualities through loading strategies that improve transfer back to sport performance.

Ultimately, successful training is not defined by whether an exercise “looks like the sport.”

It is defined by whether training improves the athlete’s ability to express force efficiently and effectively within the demands of competition.

TMX ATHLETE Ben Campbell. LFG SOUP!

Big things coming for TMX Athlete Jacob Wierzbicki! LFG!

TMX Athlete Ashlyn Kobzick has been selected to represent Team Ontario at the National Aboriginal Hockey Championship, taking place in Saskatchewan from May 3–9, 2026.

This is a tremendous accomplishment and a reflection of Ashlyn’s hard work, dedication, and commitment to her development.

Congratulations, Ashlyn — enjoy this incredible experience and opportunity to compete on the national stage! 👏🏒 .kobzick_hockey

Congratulations to TMX Athletes Evan Francella and Charlie Corcoran and their team, Northern Sports Excellence. 🏆

The U15A team battled hard all weekend and finished it off with a 3-on-3 overtime win against the first-place team to capture the championship finals.

A great team effort and well-deserved result.
Evan and his teammates earned the U15A playoff title this past weekend.

Proud to congratulate TMX athlete Logen Dahl and his team on an incredible achievement.

Three straight championships! 🏆🏆🏆

The U14AA Soo Jr. Greyhounds have done it again—back-to-back-to-back NOHA Champions.

Logen has taken big steps forward this season, improving both on and off the ice. Success like this is built through consistent work, commitment, and development over time.

Now the focus shifts to the off-season—a big summer of training and skill development ahead.
I can’t wait to see what he accomplishes next season. The work continues. 💪

Huge congratulations to our TMX Volleyball athletes from the St. Mary’s Junior team on winning the Superior Tip-Off 2025 Championship!
What an incredible sport to watch — fast-paced, explosive, and packed with unbelievable athleticism. These athletes brought energy, skill, and resilience to every point.
So proud of you Amelie, Ashlyn, and Layla — your hard work, dedication, and competitive spirit were on full display. 👏💪 .katagis
