• Hockey training and conditioning exercises:

    Following a hockey-specific exercise program — on and off the ice — can help you properly condition your body and prevent injuries. You should talk to your doctor before starting any kind of training or conditioning program.

    Off-ice balance drills -

    • Stand on one foot with your eyes closed for as long as you can.
    • Single-leg squats. Progress to single-leg squat, hopping from leg to leg.

    Medicine ball twists/toss -

    • Turn sideways to a partner.
    • Rotate your trunk and throw the ball.
    Twisting and throwing build the torso strength and dynamic stability you need when shooting the puck.

    Aerobic exercise -

    Do at least 30 minutes of exercise three to four times a week, such as:

    • Running
    • Bike riding
    • Using a stair climber or elliptical

    Incorporating aerobic exercise into your training will help build endurance as you move across the ice during games or practices.

    Box jumps -

      • Build explosive leg strength and balance by jumping laterally over cones or boxes.
