The buzz word in off-ice training is "quick twitch" muscles. Similiar to fast twitch, but not exactly the same.
Can be trained in a similiar fashion, but with a little more start/stop/change of direction movements. Hockey players are constantly only taking one or two steps, stopping, then starting back up again in a different direction. The quicker this is accomplished, the better the athlete becomes.
Too many hockey players only train for fast twitch movements, which is good, but only one piece of the puzzle. Hockey players need to be able to skate fast, but more importantly, they need to be quick.
Start training your Quick Twitch muscles today!
