I've said this DTT before, but today is a great day to bring it up again (at least in the midwest). Shoveling snow is a great workout. Don't let anyone else shovle your driveway. You shovle and then head into the gym!

Keep in mind, you are working towards the end of the season. Your "training year" should be geared towards the end of the season and the start of the playoffs, where you need to be in prime shape. Hockey season, is nearing that time. Put your hard work to good use!

Daily Training Tip #620
What you do shortly after a big game, is just as important as what you do before the big game! Make sure you replace the proper nutrients that you lost during the game, make sure you cool down properly and make sure you recieve enough sleep before your next game.

Daily Training Tip #619
If you eat properly before your competition (and/or workout) you do not need to eat anything during your competition (or workout). In a lot of cases, taking time/energy to eat during competition actually hinders your performance. Shakes/Energy Bars/Gel Packs are all considered "eating." Take the time to eat properly leading up to your event. When it's "go" time, make sure you are prepared.

Daily Training Tip #616
This one's for you Josh,
I've always said that hockey is a lower body sport. That the game is played from your mid-line down. While this is true, you still need to develop your entire body. You can't focus your training on just one area. All of your muscles are used at some point during a game, so all of your muscles need to be developed. Example; your hamstrings can hinder the performance of your quadriceps. If your quadriceps are developed at a faster rate than your hamstrings, your skating speeds are going to be slower and injury could happen. So your hamstrings need to be developed as well!
