​

Off-ice training
The off-ice training will be held at UNB's state-of-the-art High Performance Center, where their expert staff members will deliver their proven program that will focus on improving six areas of your game:
​
-
Strength: Gym training helps build muscle strength, which is essential for skills like skating, shooting puck protection and body contact.
-
Power: Power is the combination of strength and speed, and it's crucial for explosive movements on the ice, such as accelerating, stopping quickly, and shooting.
-
Endurance: While hockey is known for its bursts of intense activity, players also need endurance to sustain their performance throughout a game. Gym training includes cardiovascular exercises and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to improve endurance.
-
Injury prevention: Building strength and stability through gym training can help reduce the risk of injuries on the ice. Strengthening muscles around joints and improving balance and coordination can contribute to injury prevention.
-
Recovery: Gym training includes exercises and techniques that aid in recovery, such as foam rolling, stretching, and mobility work. Proper recovery is essential for maintaining performance and preventing overuse injuries.
-
Mental toughness: Training in the gym requires discipline, focus, and determination, which are all qualities that translate to success on the ice. Building mental toughness through gym training can help hockey players push through challenges during games and stay resilient in the face of adversity.
This program is open to a maximum of 20 players and is designed for the elite dedicated player who wants to compete alongside other players striving for athletic and personal self-improvement.
