I stumbled across this video today. CLASSIC hockey-the PATRICK division finals. Remember that name? Kevin Stevens used to be my favorite hockey player. Why?? I don’t know. Probably because his name is Kevin and he was on the first line of the Penguins in NHL ’94 for Sega (still the only video game I play…what the hell is a rockband?). Unfortunately, Kevin only makes it through the first 30 seconds of this one. The fact that this is a Game 7 highlight shows evidence that the Islanders did, in fact, stumble across victories occasionally in the past. Enjoy!
Kevin has rapidly established himself as a leader in the field of physical preparation and sports science for ice hockey. He is currently the Head Performance Coach for the Boston Bruins, where he oversees all aspects of designing and implementing the team’s performance training program, as well as monitoring the players’ performance, workload and recovery. Prior to Boston, Kevin spent 2 years as an Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach for the San Jose Sharks after serving as the Director of Performance at Endeavor Sports Performance in Pitman, NJ. He also spent 5 years as a Strength and Conditioning Coach with USA Hockey’s Women’s Olympic Hockey Team, and has been an invited speaker at conferences hosted by the NHL, NSCA, and USA Hockey.
“Kevin’s book has been a great resource in helping me write programs for my athletes while keeping them healthy and I will certainly continue to seek Kevin’s advice regarding strength and conditioning.”
