Sutton has never been one to really take fitness all that seriously, he always knew that he would never be the most fastest or most agile player on the ice. He always put in enough work to meet the league average in skating but never more than that. He would get to where he would need to be to be open, and would be able to go from there. Wasn't until his prime years did he actually really workout, but when he found a strength regime that he really liked he focused all his energy on it and became one of the leagues strongest in terms of strength and on his skates.
Old age has caught up to Sutton now though. Doesn't matter how much effort he is putting into his fitness, he knows he is regressing and will never be where he once was. The league's youth have already passed him and with his decline to soon be accelerating he has to start to think about his future. How much longer does he want to put in the effort to stay as a viable SHL forward?

As a Generation Z-era player, Sophie Bordeleau would be one to take advantage of the Internet to show how dedicated she is to fitness. Sophie has her own YouTube channel, which not only talks about her workout routines but also some other slice-of-life things. The purpose of this channel is to help share knowledge, so a lot of the exercises that are shown on the channel can be done at home or on the go and don't take a lot of equipment to use. The videos are filmed on a fairly low budget, done from home, on the road or in the gym. As for vibes, Sophie can come across as pretty funny and lighthearted on her social media, and as these videos are generally meant for younger hockey players in the kid or teenage range they're meant to be pretty easygoing and encouraging. Sophie does these workout videos as a passion project, so they're not meant specifically for monetization, but she has collaborated with other fitness YouTubers before to extend everyone's reach.

It is very important not to reveal the most important training methods for others, so that they cannot obtain information, but now I can tell a minimum about my daily training program, which keeps me in good shape. It may not be so pronounced this season, but it was noted in the past that I had the best performance starting on the second half of the season, and it was only and only because I practiced very hard throughout the season to be ready for Play-Off games. If I didn't do it, my performance would be plucky. I learned a lot and a lot of knifs during the Seattle team, because there were quite experienced players with their training methods. So I realized I needed hard workouts with my body throughout the season. Nothing much in these workouts, mostly they are running, jumping and hard workouts to keep themselves in shape. I hope it will continue to produce a result and I will also be able to reach good shape after my career.

Tommy Thompson's fitness regimen is fairly extensive. He considers peak conditioning, or as close as he can manage to it, a crucial ingredient for helping him stay afloat in a league of more talented and more skilled players. This usually results in a whole lot of cardio every morning, followed by carefully planned meals, along with weight training and more cardio before the night is out. He does a push/pull split between upper and lower body, but tries to focus most days on free weights or bodyweight workouts. He makes almost no use of full exercise machines other than a stationary bike for cardio at night. One of the key secrets that Thompson has learned from the Buffalo Stampede trainers is to train his neck more. This sounds a little strange, but following on the example from historical players such as Gary Roberts, ensuring a strong neck can help prevent neck injuries, spine injuries, and also helps out the 'jaw', so to speak, if anyone tries to take a cheap shot. Thompson's goal is to be a well-rounded, athletic player, but he knows full well that his first priority has to be strength: while he's playing as a winger this year, Thompson is a natural center and he has to be able to scrap in front of the net on each play.

Leon's been used in a lot of different roles so far in his time in the SHL, so he's really worked to be solid all-around. However, he did make his bread and butter from his netfront role, as a trash collector so he's naturally become as much of a pylon as possible when he's in front of the other team's net.
In order to make that happen, Leon hit a lot of leg and core workouts. Lots of squats, lifts and cleans, and his personal hell - planks of all kinds. He's seen success through these exercises and it's kept him in SHL condition. While the natural tradeoff to his buffness has been to his speed and agility, he's tried to make do with solid strength that allows him to play a physical style when needed and an overall smart game. The one exercise he refuses to do however, are suicides. Nope! Not happening.

A year-long ice hockey weight training program could be similar to the one outlined below: Early Preseason Players are preparing for the season and starting to build up strength after the offseason. Emphasis is on building aerobic fitness, basic functional strength, and muscle building, which is called "hypertrophy." Late Preseason Players are working up to the start of the season and pre-season trials are imminent. Emphasis is on building anaerobic fitness and maximum strength and power. In Season Competition is underway and players are expected to be fully functional for the competition. Maintenance of speed, aerobic, and anaerobic fitness with an emphasis on strength and power. Off Season The season is over; time to relax, but stay active. Emphasis is on rest and recovery with the maintenance of light activity — try cross-training and light gym work. Taking a break for several weeks from intense fitness and strength training is helpful. As pre-season approaches, more regular workouts can resume with an emphasis on building aerobic fitness once again for the pre-season training.

My first video I post for the fitness stuff is a promo video, where I train all my muscles in both my arms. It will be about 30 minutes and has a special kind of workout in it. Two big bottles of beer taped to both of my hands and I have to finish them off before being allowed to putting them off my hands. The classic Edward Fourty Hands workout, best suited for a balanced training of your arms. In this video I first explain the ins and outs of the workout, what to take care of, where the biggest mistakes and problems can occur and how to generally work out. Then I give a hands on example of how this all is done, the perfect workout cycle to motivate the people watching it. Also, I will casually talk what's on my mind and how the workout is going for me. Depending on how popular this video is, maybe I'll get more into that topic and more videos of me working out will follow.

Written Task: What does your players fitness regimen look like and why? What's your player's play style, and how do you support that with your off-ice routine? If you're a net front person, for example, are you big into upper body work for shoving people around? Or maybe lower body so you can plant yourself and not be moved. If you're an older player in the league, maybe talk about what you do to stay competitive with all the young folks. What secrets have you learned over the years? If you're a younger player, do you have any veteran friends that share these secrets with you? (150+ words)
Paul Koivu is a pretty small hockey player in comparison to the typical hockey player. He is not really one to be super physical in general, he is not one to be in front of the net or anything. So Paul really focuses on his lower body and his legs to allow him to skate well and stay on his feet as long as possible. He still does some upper body training, just in case he needs it eventually, but it does not really fit his usual playstyle. There is no real secret to being fit for Paul, you just have to consistently work on it every day, there is no way to make it go faster, there is no secret formula. It is something that comes with a lot of effort and time. This was thought to him by his father, who would always tell him the importance of maintaining a good routine instead of doing a couple big sessions every so often. 164 words | || | || | |

With such a rapid growth in the game and how it has evolved, I think fitness has actually taken a little backseat to the skills required to even play the game. Without question, cardio is the most important part of a player's routine, including mine. I like to start off the day with some body-weight exercises around the house, doing several sets of push-ups, pull-ups, planks, and range of motion stretches... I feel like it gets the body ready for the day. Then just before lunchtime, I go for a 5k run each day with a weighted vest on. The time isn't that great, right around the 30-35 minute mark, but it does get the heart going and I'm completely drenched in sweat by the end of it. Finally, to wrap up the day, I go for a skate in the evening with ankle weights and a stick weight, just to make it a little more difficult.

Brick Wall has definitely subscribed to the Tom Brady school of fitness. Being a goalie, being able to lift huge weights or to run super fast isn't that important. What is important is staying flexible and limber. Muscle pulls are what take goalies out of action, not a lack of strength. Wall doesn't look like the yoga type, but there really isn't a better method out there for staying loose and flexible. The best goalies are those that can do a good Gumby impersonation on the ice. Along with good, low intensity exercise, eating healthy is also important. Brick doesn't go quite as hard as Tom does when it comes to dieting (the man thinks grapes are a dessert), but he does try to focus on keeping his diet centered on supplying the nutrition he needs without much extra "stuff". But Brick definitely has his cheat days, where that all goes out the window. Fried chicken, booze, ice cream, the works.
