Written Option 2:

Strength is a very important part to the hockey season. I would say that mental is probably overall more important. If you can't have the mental fortitude to push through the ups and downs throughout a season, you won't have a good season. You have to have your head on straight and stay focused. I am not sure how you train that but honestly i think its more just about your outlook and attitude. Physically you train to keep your strength up so on the ice you are able to stay at the highest level of hockey. I think you have to be physically strong kind of full body. You have to start with strong legs so you don't get fatigued. The same goes for a strong back. Core strength is another one. I think you train that for keeping your balance and your bursts of speed. It also helps with checking both on the giving and receiving ends. You gotta train both to stay at the top level
