Improving hockey players through off-ice training

Skill development is not limited to the ice. Players of all ages and experience can benefit from off-ice training. Proper off-ice or dry-land training can improve skill, power, speed, stamina, injury prevention and overall health.

Hockey Canada's training materials offer an introduction for several off-ice disciplines, including:

Warm-up
Stretching
Plyometrics
Balance and coordination
Core conditioning
Agility and quickness
Off-ice stickhandling
Cool-down
Nutrition
Fluids and hydration
