Posted by admin on Jun 29, 2010 in Articles | Comments Off

I had posted a comment posted to one of my hockey training videos on YouTube, said the athlete, which played the hockey team for me. Although I do not play an adult pick up hockey from time to time, I do not think that what he wanted. I had to admit that I am a fitness trainer who works with several hockey players. I normally leave the drive on ice hockey coach and power skating coach, after all, he or she is the expert in this field. An exception is conditioned on the ice. If many elite players to time away to take the ice for the summer, I believe customers up to a certain power skating and conditioning on the ice once or twice a week to make in June and July, in the hope they are on Ice climbing 3-5 days per week from August.

Like you, cycling, running, exercise level can imagine, are all very different from the skating stride. I like the film board, but there is no way for a multi-directional exercises on the board or film on a treadmill skating for this question. I have a few different types of exercises on the ice on a continuum of speed and acceleration, speed endurance. Then I can layer on this continuum, such as stability, flexibility, responsiveness, or to add. Below I will describe one of the “Big Bang” exercises I use for training hockey players. The only equipment needed is small cones and a stopwatch.
