I hope you enjoyed the weekend. I’m still getting caught up after a 5-day stint in San Diego for ART Spine, 4 days of being hurricaned in, 5 days of working at the USA Women’s National Hockey Team’s Pre-4-Nations Camp (they won the championship in Finland this past weekend with a 3-0 victory over Canada!), […]

Over the last couple weeks, there have been a lot of great discussions in my LinkedIn Group “Hockey Training“. A few days back, Dr. Chad Moreau, who has experience working with a wide range of hockey players (including the Edmonton Oilers of the NHL and Long Beach Ice Dogs of the ECHL), posed the question […]

I hope everyone on the East Coast is surviving the initial pushes from Hurricane Sandy. I’m supposed to drive up to NY tomorrow to work at a camp with the US Women’s Team so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the rain will ease up enough for my ’99 4-door family sedan to make the […]

A couple weeks back I started a class called “Pathology” as part of my massage program. The first class we watched a DVD from National Geographic titled “Inside the Living Body,” and were asked to write a paper with the loose guidelines of “what did you think of the video and why do you think […]

A couple weeks ago I posted a video on HockeyStrengthandConditioning.com with two “Reactive Jumping” (or plyometric) exercises that we’ve used with our hockey players.

That said, I’ve come across several awesome articles that I wanted to share with you that cover a […]

A couple weeks ago Seth Bronheim and Varun Sriram, the Director of Nutrition & Fitness and Digital Marketing Manager, respectively, of Generation UCAN were in the Philadelphia area for an endurance event and had a chance to stop by Endeavor to check the facility out. While they were in town, we did a quick interview […]

If you’ve been reading my site for the last couple of years, you know that I have a great deal of respect for Charlie Weingroff. He’s incredibly bright, and has a truly unique perspective on the rehabilitation to performance training continuum. He continues to be a go-to resource for me as I dig deeper down […]

Last week I received a question from a reader that I’ve gotten a few times in the past and thought I’d address here. If you have specific questions you’d like me to address in a future post, please post them in the comments section below! Question: If you could please tell me what muscles are […]

Today’s post will cap off a 3-part series on creating on- and off-ice training and conditioning programs that compliment one another from an energy system standpoint to allow a stronger adaptation.
