Home Workouts

Just because you’re not on the ice as much as you would be in season doesn’t mean you can’t be putting in the work in other parts of your game! For all of our athletes not yet in a gym consistently or working with performance training specialists here’s some simple key factors to work into your home training regimen!

• SPEED
  • Agility foot speed ladder
  • Sprinting – focus on short bursts
  • Agility cone drills – focused on aggressive, cutting patterns.
  • Jump rope

• POWER
  • Body weight pushups, squats
  • Any type of jumping exercises
    • Squat jumps, tuck jumps, single leg jumps, lateral jumping
  • Single leg balance exercises
  • Hill or Stair running
  • Band resistance exercises.

• CONDITIONING
  • Jogging for distance or time
  • Rollerblading
  • Burpees
  • Join Mom at a spinning class!

• CORE STRENGTH
  • Countless number of ab and core exercises.

Don’t worry about getting too hung up about “hockey specific” workouts. Focus on improving athleticism, with some added attention on speed and power. The main mission is to build a foundation, so when you’re throwing around weights in the years to come your body is prepared to make some serious gains!
