Most hockey players train hard, but they completely overlook their forearms.

That’s a problem.

Your forearms are directly involved in:
🔹Shot power & release
🔹Puck control & feel
🔹Stick battles & grip strength
🔹Wrist positioning through every play

If you don’t have strength and control through your wrists and forearms,
you’re leaking power and losing control in key moments.

And over time that can also lead to unnecessary stress on the elbows and shoulders.

That’s why in our programs, we don’t leave this up to chance. We’ve built-in targeted forearm accessory work every upper body day to make sure:
☑️ Strength carries into your shot
☑️ You have full control of your stick
☑️ You’re not getting outworked in battles

No weak links. No missed details.

Most hockey players make the same mistake every off-season:

They jump straight into lifting with no preparation.

They haven’t considered if the joints they’re about to load are capable of producing force through the ranges being trained.

That leaves performance on the table.

Before you can build strength, power, and muscle efficiently, you need to make sure the joints underneath that muscle are prepared to do their job.

When a joint has better control, more usable range of motion, and greater force-producing capacity:
▪️You move better
▪️You access more positions
▪️You produce force more efficiently
▪️You get more out of every rep
▪️You reduce the compensation patterns that often lead to aches, pains, and stalled progress

This is why every training session inside our programs begins with targeted mobility work; to prepare the exact joints and tissues you’re about to load.

When you improve the quality of the movement first, the strength work that follows becomes dramatically more effective.

Over the course of an off-season, this seemingly small detail compounds into:
✅ better strength gains
✅ better movement quality
✅ improved performance
✅ and a more resilient athlete

The best programs aren’t just about what exercises you do. They’re about doing the right things in the right order.

Do you want to be a stronger skater this hockey season?

Most players train hard, but they don’t train for skating mechanics and stride power.

They lift weights.
They condition.
They grind.

But they don’t train lateral force production: the foundation of a powerful stride.

Incorporate exercises this summer that build:
✔ Lateral push power for stronger strides
✔ Adductor strength for edge control
✔ Deeper knee & hip angles for longer stride length
✔ Frontal-plane force production that transfers to skating
✔ Stability in single-leg push positions
✔ Strength through crossover and lateral drive mechanics

That’s how you develop a stronger, more powerful stride that actually shows up on the ice.

If you’re looking to remove the guesswork from your training and want guidance this off-season, we’ve built proven systems that work for athletes at all levels.

Train with structure.
Train with purpose.
Become a different player next season.

If your knee training is only linear, you’re probably leaving a huge gap in your development.

Most players train the knees almost entirely forward and backward:
▪️Squats
▪️Split squats
▪️Lunges
▪️Jumps

And while those are important, hockey is rotational.

Your knees constantly have to absorb, control, and produce force through rotation:
▫️Crossovers
▫️Edge transitions
▫️Pivots
▫️Deceleration
▫️Contact
▫️Direction changes

If you don’t own rotational strength and control at the knee, your body eventually finds weak links.

That’s when you start seeing:
⚠️ Knee irritation
⚠️ Poor edge control
⚠️ Limited skating positions
⚠️ Compensation patterns
⚠️ Reduced force transfer

This is one of the biggest reasons some players feel like their lower-body training stops translating as well as it should.

Rotational capacity is often the missing link.

That’s why inside our system we don’t just train knees linearly — we build strength, control, and force capacity through multiple angles and rotational demands so athletes can move better, perform better, and stay healthier through the season.

This level of detail is built into all our Off-Season Programs and broken down extensively inside our Mobility Membership.

Do you want to skate stronger, feel looser, and stop battling tight hips every time you hit the ice? Start with these 3 hip mobility drills!

These are my go-to pre-ice exercises because they do two things every hockey player needs:

1️⃣ Prime your hips for today’s skate → better stride mechanics, cleaner rotation, reduced groin tension.
2️⃣ Improve long-term joint health & movement quality → the more consistently you do this stuff, the better your hips will move and feel all season.

Here’s the mini routine:
🔹Banded Butterfly – opens the deep hip capsule & adductors
🔹Banded Bear Sit – primes hip rotation for stronger, wider strides
🔹Leg Lock Glute Bridge – activates glutes without dumping into your low back

Do these before every skate and your hips will thank you today AND months from now.
