Hi, I’m Tony. My son has been playing ice hockey for one season now and has made a great start. I have also had a go with some other dads also learning the skills and the game. It is with this that I have got to know several ice hockey players and can now appreciate the dedication and commitment that they have to put in to their ice hockey training programmes to become the best they can be. Here I share my review and thoughts on ice hockey training with you here and a book dedicated to ice hockey players development.

What’s Ice Hockey Training all about?
Your ice hockey training does not just start on the ice, turning up at a set time, kitted up and going out there skating around, shooting some pucks, winning it back and starting over again. There are many different skills that you need to conqueror to enable your skills to flow into one smooth move to be able to perform the tasks mentioned. Ice hockey takes balance, power and strength in your body and your mind. It is a very quick game and anything can happen in a split second. You have to be mentally prepared to play attack and defence if you are a player and if you are a goalie, well as quick as the puck goes away from you it can come back and you need to be ready at all times. You will also need eyes in the back of your head as the game gets played behind the net as well.
Taking all this into account, there is a lot of additional training you need to do away from the ice. You need to ensure that you work your body, heart and lungs, keeping them at the top fitness level you can achieve. This can mean many trips to the gym or if that is not possible there are just as many exercises and runs you can do from home but what about any specialist equipment. There are exercise routines you can do from home without the need for specialist equipment maybe a few small simple pieces such as a set of dumb bells, exercise ball and maybe other simple items to be on hand.
WHAT IS ICE HOCKEY SPEED AND POWER TRAINING ALL ABOUT?
In this book, written by a professional ice hockey player Kevin Meihm, who has played hockey from a junior to becoming a successful NHL, IHL and European Elite player, found what works and what doesn’t, what you can do to achieve the best results and progress for you to adapt into your own lifestyle and training programme. To be able to perform at your best you will need to look after your body and have different ice hockey training programs for different times of the year depending on whether it is the season for hockey.
Hockey Speed and Power Training has been produced and written from a highly recognised and successful NHL hockey player, Kevin Meihm. He knows what is required to develop your training and performance so that you can give 110% to your shift when you are on ice and out perform your opponents. Kevin, is also a qualified personal trainer which gives him much more than just knowledge and passion of the game to share his tips and drills with you but has actually been trained to give personal development and training to others, which includes looking after your body and learning how to get the most out of it.
Kevin has recognised the difference between your body’s development depending on your age. As juniors it is important that you do not over strain part of their body which is not yet fully developed and has therefore created three versions of the book so that it is suitable to your age, from 8 years, through your early teens till it is safe to be doing the same as adults. This means that you will have a complete ice hockey training manual that is dedicated to your development and not simply a chapter or two.
Ice hockey is a game all about speed and power. You need to be fast to go forward and shoot and get back to defend, powerful in your shots and precision in your passing and controlling the puck, stop and turn direction quickly to keep up with the game and strong to stand up to a player who may get in your way. This is what your ice hockey training and development comes down to. An ice hockey player performs in quick bursts and their training program needs to feed this rather than long endurance training on and off the ice.

What I like about this opportunity to learn from a professional wherever you are, is the reassurance of a money back guarantee that comes with it. I have nothing to lose but lots to gain for my son by aiding his development with this manual.
