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

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 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.
