Option 2: To start the offseason, I think the first thing you should do is step away from everything related to hockey for a minimum of two weeks and up to a month. I think it’s important to simply relax after a hard season and chill for a bit. Most of the time, that would involve taking a trip to an interesting place somewhere in the world and to not skate at all during this time and only do light training or no training at all. After that small vacation, it’s time to start hitting the gym again with precise goal that would help every player improve the things they need to work on. Then you slowly start to hit the ice again with a mix of working on personal skills and joining organized games to simulate some kind of game situation. I think at the end of summer, your goal should be to be in the best shape you can while not feeling any kind of fatigue.
