Strength & Conditioning
for Tomorrow's future Hockey Players
Need to know and what to expect....
Things you need to know about the Off-Ice
Training Center
- Players please do not leave your hockey bag
in the lobby of the Southwest Ice Arena area.
- Arrive on time or at least 10 - 15 minutes before
lesson begins.
- Bring 1 or 2 bottles of water or sports drink....
(no pop)..water is terrific!
- Flat soled shoes such as Vans or Heelies
(shoes with the wheels integrated into the soles)
are not good for foot support and are not
appropriate for the jump ballistic training in
which we will be engaged.
- Sweat band / baseball type cap / shorts
(optional), towel
- What to eat before training here are some
helpful ideas for your player....Learn More
- Expect a little muscle soreness…. This will
dissipate with hydration & conditioning. A hot
bath accompanied by stretching also works well.
In extreme cases, an OTC analgesic (ie:
Children’s Tylenol helps.) In the event of a
muscle strain / sprain remember
R.I.C.E.
Rest
Ice (first 24 hrs)
Compression
Elevation
Thanks.
