Hockey Training
Spring High Performance Conditioning Camps
April 10 - June 28 (12 Weeks)
The Spring Camp is constructed into three progressive periodized phases. Phase One begins in April, allowing players to take time off following their season. Players will stay off the ice for the first two phases and focus their efforts on developing a foundation of strength and movement. In Phase 3, players will begin more advanced hockey-specific training methods as well as take to the ice to begin working on skating mechanics, speed, quickness, agility, puck skills, and scrimmaging. Players may join in at the beginning of any phase.
Divisions:
1. Pro (NHL, Semi-Pro)
2. Junior / College
3. Major Midget /Midget Elite (94, 95, 96)
4. Bantam Elite (97, 98)
5. Pee-Wee Elite (99, 00)
6. Atom Elite (01, 02)
7. Female Elite (Bantam-College)
| 3 Month High Performance Spring Camp April 10 to June 28 |
|
Includes: Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3 (See below). |
|
**All Bantam and Midget players are required to have played AAA, AA or A during the 2011/12 season in order to be eligible to participate in the on-ice program** |
|
| Phase 1: | Evaluation, Postural Correction, Movement Quality, Train the Weak Links |
April 10 to May 4 (4 Weeks) Athletes will complete a full C360 Athlete evaluation at the start of the program where they will test Movement, Athleticism, and Character. Their results will help shape the design and focus of their program. Phase 1 will focus on developing a foundation of core strength, joint stability, mobility, posture, and biomechanics. In addition, coaches will define and train up weak links in the kinetic chain. Includes: C360 Athlete Evaluation, Three 90 minute dryland sessions per week. |

|
|
| Phase 2: | Linked System Strength Development, Movement Skill Acquisition, Aerobic Energetics |
May 7 to June 1 (4 Weeks) Building off Phase 1, Phase 2 will focus on developing strength using Twist's Linked System Strength Training methods. Athletes will be introduced to movement skill training with an emphasis on deceleration. Aerobic energy systems will be developed to create a solid platform for increased metabolic demand in the rest of the off-season program. Includes: Three 90 minute dryland sessions per week. |
|
|
|
| Phase 3: | Hockey Specificity, Strength & Power, Speed, Quickness, Agility, Anaerobic Energetics |
| June 4 - June 29 (4 Weeks) Phase 3 will continue to focus on strength development but will increase the complexity, add hockey-specific lifting, and teach power development. The movement program will focus on starts, quickness, multi-directional movement, speed and acceleration/deceleration. Energetics will shift to the anaerobic systems. Includes: Four 90 minute dryland sessions per week and two 75 minute on-ice sessions per week. |
