A culture shift has robbed us of personal accountability. It’s time for a change.
We're no longer in the age of whistles and clipboards, random calisthenics, and hydration negligence.

For years, coaches have been failing to attain maximum results when putting their hockey players on an off-ice conditioning program. Much of this comes from misunderstandings. Typically, an unknowing coach will put far too much emphasis on aerobic training despite its near uselessness in hockey specific conditioning.

There is a better way—high intensity interval training.
