About
To skate faster as a hockey player, you need a combination of strength, power, agility, and endurance. A well-rounded program targeting these components will help you build speed, improve your stride, and increase your explosiveness on the ice. Follow the workout plan below that covers various aspects of skating speed, including strength training, plyometrics, agility drills, and conditioning. The Warm-Up (5-10 minutes): An integrated sequence of movements that are dynamic in nature works to promote whole-body mobility and hockey-specific athletic development. The Workout (40-50 minutes): A hockey-specific resistance training session designed with the correct volume, intensity, and frequency that the time of the year demands (off-season, in-season, playoffs, before tryouts, pre-season, etc.) The Cool Down (5-10 minutes): A three-phase formula to support further technical speed ability, mobility for targeted areas and activate the parasympathetic nervous system. Warm-up like you mean it Perform skill-based exercises before strength-based exercises Perform fast exercises before slow exercises Always perform exercises with a full range of motion and don’t do forced/cheat reps Your rehabilitative work should be included within your warm-ups and cool down and not be the focus of your entire session When combining exercises, it’s best to combine non-competing muscle groups together so that performance is not negated during any time of the training If it hurts (as in actual pain), don’t do it, “training through the pain” is never a smart idea
