OFF-ICE TRAINING (16 Hours):

Summary

DB Fitness athletic program is tailored to compliment all aspects of personal development to ensure safety and achieve maximum potential. DB Fitness athletes will actively learn the fundamental movements required for all aspects of training, including balance, strength, and endurance.

Warm up

The importance of warming up is so the muscles can contract and relax efficiently. Warming up helps to reduce the risks of pulls and strains by elevating the body temperature and will allow more oxygen to be available to the muscles.

Stretching

Dynamic - Dynamic Stretching prepares the body for workout load by taking the body through stretches in motion to promote joint mobility, stability as well as muscle activation

Static - Static stretching consists of stationary stretching which promotes supply of blood and nutrients to joint structure, a decreased risk of injury, a reduction in muscular tension as well as increased range of motion

Foam Rolling

Athletes will properly learn how to use a foam roller while doing it safely. Knowing how to use a foam roller effectively is important in terms of muscle recovery. Foam Rollers help improve over all flexibility while obtaining a better range of motion in the joints and producing overall better blood circulation to the muscles.

Hockey Specific Yoga

Yoga is a very important part to our program. Staying aware of the body and mind promotes performance and muscle control. Yoga helps reduce muscles soreness and aids in flexibility while reducing the risk of injury.

Intro to Exercise

DB Fitness Athletes will be going through step by step fundamental exercises that consist of Squatting, Lunging, Bending, Twisting, Pulling, and Pushing. Proper Movement patterns promotes good posture and overall stability.

Balance, Agility, Power

DB Fitness Athletes will actively learn fundamental balance, agility, and power exercises that will not only benefit them in their sport, but also in their every day lives. These three fundamental skills all rely on each other and when properly used together will translate into being able to generate explosive strength from the muscles, while still being able to keep proper body control.

HIIT Circuit (High Intensity Interval Training)

The HIIT Circuits will consist of all fundamental movements and skills combined into high intensity interval training. DB Fitness Athletes will be put through a specialized training circuit which combines the seven fundamental movements previously taught with balance, agility and power exercises. HIIT is designed to work both aerobic and anaerobic systems of the body while still improving strength, power and agility. Therefore, helping the muscles perform at a higher rate of intensity for a longer duration time before exhaustion.

On-Ice Training (4 Hours)

On-ice training will be taught by NHL first round draft pick and owner of Skills Corp; Joey Hishon. Joey has a high level of hockey experience including NHL, KHL, AHL and OHL leading him to a Memorial Cup Final. Joey now teaches players on-ice skills from all levels ranging from Minor Hockey to NHL. Be sure to check out is online content . Take your game to a whole new level on-ice with Joey this summer.

*4 Ice Times (1 hour each day)

*Strong focus on stickhandling, shooting, passing, and edge work
*Ice Times will be held at the University of Guelph on Red Rink
*July 13th & 27th 1-3pm
August 10th & 17th 2-4pm
*Players will be split into two groups for a 1 hour session each day
*Groups and Ice-Times will be selected at the of the program
*Goalie On-Ice Training will be provided by James Prigione Goaltending School

Off-Ice Skills Training (4 Hours)

During off-ice skills sessions players will actively learn how to work on techniques off the ice to perform at a higher level on the ice. Everything from proper stickhandling form to breaking down each movement of the shot pattern is crucial to on-ice performance. With Dustins 12 years plus experience teaching off-ice skills to players, he is confident in taking a players game to the next level.

*Off-Ice Skills will be taught at the DB Fitness Inc. Facility.
*Players will be asked to bring Sticks on Skills Days
*Two 1 Hour sessions each month with homework
*Skills Sessions will be held on Fridays during each groups time slot

Game/Mental Preparation (2 Hours)

Former University of Guelph Captain; Nick Trecapelli will be teaching players how to properly mentally prep before hockey. Nick will touch base on all aspects of being properly prepared for games. Being focused and staying focused throughout the game is crucial. Using techniques to eliminate outside distractions and being able to focus on the task at hand allows the body to perform at the highest level possible. Mental prep is a very key part to players success. Nick will share his experiences of being a student athlete and the techniques that have helped get him where he is today. Playing everything from OHL, University, AHL, to currently playing in Europe, gives Nick a very diverse hockey profile and very strong knowledge on mental preparation.
*1 hour each month (July & August)
*All groups will be together for Mental Prep Seminars
*Dates and Times TBA closer to start date

Personalized Body Composition and Measurements

Each player at the start of the program will get their body composition and measurements taken. DB Fitness has the most updated technology to help improve testing, identify muscle quality and imbalances, all while seeing where the body is storing the most fat cells.

Fit Testing

Testing will be done at the start and end of the program. Testing each player helps us track progress as well as identify strength and areas in need of improvement. The testing is designed to push the players to their maximum potential. Progress reports will be given to parents on the players development over duration of the program. Once at the end of July(mid term report), and once at the completion of the program (final report).

Nutritional Guidance

Players will receive nutritional guidance over the duration of the 8 week program. We will give players suggestions on healthier nutrition options/choices in order to perform at a high level. We will be giving nutritional suggestions for preparation before games, recovery following, and for exercise. Personalized nutrition plans will NOT be provided during this program.

Home Programming

Players will be given at home programs over the 8 week program. At home programs will focus on cardio and flexibility. The stretching program will be expected to be completed each day for a total of 15 minutes. Cardio programs will range between 20-45 minutes depending on age group.
