PRO-AM HOCKEY HELP
Training off the ice is common among hockey players. Cardiovascular exercise like biking, running and swimming can increase stamina. Resistance activities like lifting weights can enhance strength. Even yoga and tai chi can help to improve balance.
But to get ready for the Scotiabank Pro-Am for Alzheimer’s in support of Baycrest, there’s no substitute for skate time. Practice games are integral to being able to hold your own against the NHL pros come spring. Especially if your shooting or stick handling skills could use a bit of sharpening up, now’s the time to explore your hockey practice options!
