Hockey Training and Nutrition Articles
I’ve learned a lot about training while earning my degree in Exercise Science and then combining this knowledge with playing 9 years of professional hockey, I always think, “What if I knew this information at 14 years of age?” The answer, it would have made a huge difference in my playing career.

Whether you’re a member of the Martell Elite Fitness Team, or not. I want you to succeed so I try to provide new, helpful information on a regular basis.
Please Enjoy!
