| Hockey is a simple sport. You strap on a pair of skates, put on some protective gear and chase a hockey puck around the rink and try to score on the other team, right? Wrong! Hockey is a very technical sport. As a player, you have to be able to skate, stick-handle, pass, shoot, beat other players one on one and utilize your teammates to be successful. Not only do you have to master individual skills, you have to master individual tactics and team tactics, as well. What about the physical demands of the sport of hockey? How can you maximize your performance on the ice? Is off-ice training beneficial? What about nutrition and recovery? How important are they to your success as a player? When we play hockey we use all three energy systems. Hockey is predominantly an anaerobic lactic sport (you can feel the burn when you have skated hard for 30-40 seconds). We also use the anaerobic alactic system (explosive power) and the aerobic system (when we play at low intensity or when we are recovering on the bench). To play hockey at the highest level that you are capable of, you not only have to master individual skills, individual and team tactics, you also have to eat to train and train to play. If you are a recreational player your approach to eating and training will be considerably different to that of the competitive player. At Fred Hudson's Power Skating & Hockey Academy we can offer a program that is suitable to any individual or group. Skating is the foundation of our program, complimented with just the right amount of other hockey related skills and tactics, to allow you to improve as a player. Our goal is to help you to improve, no matter what your skill level is. We look forward to meeting you soon. |
