Hockey Speed and Power Training

Thank you everyone for your comments-keep them coming. I apologize for the delay in the hockey training and conditioning pictures. I am the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at SST Vaughan and we are really busy. Any players in the Toronto area should contact me right away and come in for a free trial sessson. Our functional, hockey specific training programs are helping our athletes get amazing results. Three of the last four OHL fastest skating winners have trained with me. If you are a parent or player who is from around the Toronto area and want to get faster and stronger this is the place to be. If you are not from the area purchase your copy of the Hockey Speed and Power manual today. The manuals are the next best thing to training with me at SST.

The hockey training pictures have been submitted to the web master and will be going up shortly. Also a weekly newsletter will be going out with tons of great hockey specific training tips. Sign up for the newsletter today!! Also please submit any questions you would like answered. Kevin Miehm

What do you hockey players want to discuss about hockey training?

Kevin Miehm — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 20:51:51 +0000

The goal of the Hockey Speed and Power blog is is to educate our members/visitors on how to train properly for hockey speed, power and conditioning. I am in the process of getting the 400 exercises pictures I have optimized for the site. Sign up for the newsletter, as by the middle of next week there will be two great hockey training exercises everyday on the blog. These are exercises the professionals use(I should know as I was a professional hockey player in the NHL/European Elite League for over 12 years). There is no guess work in the Hockey Speed and Power training manuals sold on the site. These are manuals that have been proven time and time again to help athletes reach their full potential. If your son/daughter is 8 years old or older it is time for them to start training properly. Gary Roberts was on the Fan 590 and was asked what things Sidney Crosby and Steven Stamkos had in common. His answer was “they both started training properly at a very young age when there bodies could absorb and learn from the training they were doing”. It is no coincidence that the European’s, in general, are better skaters. They all start speed and power training at a very young age with professional coaches.

Please let me know what you guys want to see. Hockey specific core training, speed training, power training etc. It will all be coming soon so sign up for our newsletter now so you don’t miss out. Join the fastest growing Hockey Speed and Power website to get a huge edge on your competition.

PS-here is a great little hockey specific core training circuit:

1) Russian Twists-30 seconds, Figure 8-30 seconds, Reverse Axe Chops-30 seconds. Rest 30 seconds between exercises and 1 minute between sets. If you don’t know what these exercises are come back often as pictures and videos of these and other great hockey training exercises are soon to follow.

Hockey off-ice training

Hockey off-ice training needs to be your main priority in the off-season. This is where speed and power can be gained. Who out there is on the ice all summer? Put your skates away for 3 months and follow the Hockey Speed and Power manual and I guarantee you when the season starts you will be much faster, stronger, have great first stride power and will dominate your tryouts and your season will be a great success. Don’t wait-you need 4 months of intense hockey specific training to really excel.

Welcome

Hockey Fitness – The Keys to Improving Your On-Ice Performance Through Off-Ice Training

Kevin Miehm — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 16:19:31 +0000

Hockey fitness is one of the most complex areas of fitness in all of sports. The number of different roles and movements that hockey players have to assume over the course of a game demands a huge amount of fitness in a highly varied number of ways. Rivalled only by skill positions in football for the fitness level required, it’s very important that hockey players focus on the game as a whole, rather than simply focusing on individual aspects and ignoring others.

One of the most important areas of hockey fitness is core strength. This is common to most sports, but is especially important in hockey. Contact sports like hockey always come along with a higher risk of injury than non-contact sports, and improving core strength is one of the most important ways to help prevent injuries. The core also channels the power used for shooting, passing, checking and more.

Another important fitness area for hockey players is cardiovascular endurance. Anyone who’s been stuck on the ice for a long shift knows how tiring it can, and coming back to the bench for a couple minutes doesn’t give you much time to recharge. It’s very important to be able to maintain that pace over the course of an entire game without your output bleeding off. The best way to ensure this is to focus your cardio training on intervals that closely approximate shift times. Do 45 seconds to a minute at full blast, then bring it down for a couple of minutes.

Most importantly, focus on getting a complete workout so that you don’t accidentally ignore any aspects of your fitness training that could have an impact on your performance on the ice. The best way to do this is to consult a hockey specific trainer, or to pick up a book on hockey specific fitness plans.
