Off Ice Training
DRYLAND TRAINING
Our progressive dryland training
circuit focuses on plyometric exercises to enhance
an athlete's quick twitch muscles. We utilize these
plyometric exercises along with overspeed training
through speed chutes, power harness', and bungee cords to help augment
the quickness, speed and power development initiated on-ice.
CONDITIONING CIRCUITS
Conditioning and flexibility are discussed and encouraged during
these sessions by educating players on proper hydration, how to
prepare for a game or practice, how to train during the pre-season,
and what each player can do to maintain their optimal physical
condition during the season.
STRETCHING SESSIONS
RMHS Staff will run the students through a daily
stretching progression. We teach different
styles of stretching that will
allow them to improve their on ice performance.
Most young athletes do not understand the role stretching takes in
the prevention of injuries. Not only will RMHS staff teach the students
how, and when, to stretch, but we will also extensively cover static
and kinetic stretching and why they are so important to an athletes’ performance.
VIDEOTAPE REVIEW
During our Videotape Review sessions we will go over stride,
stopping and starting, and proper technique. RMHS Staff will use our professional
stride analysis program to go over the complete hockey stride in full detail.
This will give each player the opportunity to see themselves on a television
and receive the proper corrections to improve their skating efficiency.
The RMHS Staff will also use these sessions to review videos of NHL, collegiate
and European games to better identify and learn correct tendencies, systems and
tactics.
HOCKEY CHALK TALK
Every RMHS camp will include a daily, 30-minute hockey chalk
talk. In these sessions RMHS Staff will discuss performance
improvement topics such as proper nutrition, hydration, higher avenues of hockey, drug prevention,
and Sports Physiology. The Staff will also quiz the players through the camp
to be sure they understand how they can negatively affect their athletic and interpersonal
lives via these habits.
