Off-Ice Training

The game of ice hockey has changed drastically over the past few decades,
nothing shows this more than off ice training methods used by athletes of today's
game. Throughout the program, students will learn how to use European training
methods to develop "quick-twitch" muscle fibers that will improve explosive
acceleration on the ice. These are the same methods Sean has learned first hand
from Swiss Olympic trainers while playing professionally in Europe. Coupled with
exercises focusing on explosive development; strength building drills will be
implemented as well.

"I have been introduced to so many different off ice programs in my career,
but none as challenging as what I learned over seas. The Russian training
program is definitely the most difficult."
