Power isn't just about how much you can lift. It's Power isn't just about how much you can lift. It's about how much each leg can produce on its own.

Every stride on the ice is a single leg effort. If both legs are always trained together, the weak one never gets exposed and never gets better.

The bands provide just enough resistance that the mechanics stay exactly the same but the legs have to produce more power to get off the ground. No compensation. 

No shortcuts. 

Just more output from each leg independently.

That's what transfers to the ice.

At a certain age, parents start asking how to make At a certain age, parents start asking how to make their kid faster. That's the right question. The problem is where they're looking for answers.

Social media is full of training content that looks impressive. But just because an NHL player or a junior athlete does it doesn't mean a 10 or 12 year old should.

The two most common mistakes are jumping straight to plyometrics and just adding more ice time. More skating can help early on, but eventually development plateaus or even goes backward.

What your kid actually needs depends on their age and what stage of development they're in. The training that builds a pro is not the same training that builds a youth player.

More of one thing is never the answer. Smart, age-appropriate development is.

Most hockey players never train their adductors di Most hockey players never train their adductors directly.

That’s a problem, because the adductors are responsible for pulling your leg back under your body during every single stride.

This bear crawl adductor drill uses a band to create resistance in both directions. The working leg pulls in against the band, and the planted leg has to hold its position isometrically. Both sides are being trained at the same time.

Set up with your hands under your shoulders and your knees under your hips. When you lift onto your toes, your back should be flat and parallel to the ground. Hip height, shoulder height, and ear height should all be level.

From there, let the band pull your leg out slowly and controlled. Then drive it back in using your adductors. Do not rush this. The value is in the control.

If your player is dealing with groin issues or weak lateral stability, this is a drill worth adding.
