Do a series of lunges today...front/side/skater/reverse 3 sets of 10 each...This will put you in position to succeed.
Lunges are a very good single leg exercise that directly corrrelates to your on-ice movements. When doing lunges, make sure you step far enough away from your body so your knee is directly above your ankle and your extended thigh is parrallel to the ground.

Work hard, but more importantly work hard with a purpose!
Some people work hard to make themselves look like they are working hard. Don't worry about how others view you. You know what your goal is. Work as hard as you can towards your goal.

"If your child leaves MHC as a better person and a better player, this is a measurable indication of our brand value."
"You can measure MHC by measuring your child's personal growth as well as skill development. Final measure will be a productive citizen."
Follow us on TWITTER if you don't already.

Daily Training Tip #133
Make sure you are in your best condition during a tryout. If your not, you probably aren't going to get noticed.
A tryout camp is a place to showcase your skills. If you haven't prepared for the camp in advance, your skills aren't going to stand out. Put in the work before the tryout and you will be amazed.
