Weight room
How often should I be lifting per week. Should I be lifting heavy before practice?

In season weight lifting is probably best kept to 2 days a week, with maybe a 3rd day of no weights where you focus on exercises that challenge your balance, core strength and mobility. You’ll get more out of your lifts before practice because your fast twitch energy systems won’t be fatigued. Lifting heavy is fine as long as you aren’t trying to be a strong man ego lifter. Stick to lower volume of 2-3 sets. Train hard but train smart. Mix in some explosive plyometrics with your heavier lifts as well

As long as your leg workout isn’t interfering with the quality of your practice, it’s perfectly fine. If your workouts are giving you heavy legs for your skate then try to work them in on a day you don’t have practice. There’s no magic formula though. It’s all about balancing training and recovery with what works best for your schedule, and listing to your body to make sure you’re performing at your best on game day.

Training Activities While Injured
Hi Everyone, Hope you all are doing well. Unfortunately, I recently tore my MCL and meniscus in my left knee during practice. I use crutches outside of the house. As well as going to physical therapy , but around the house I can walk around with a brace and bend my knee slightly. I’ve been out for about one month now and have another 2 to 3 months before I can get back on the ice. I’m going kinda crazy at this point not being able to practice or play on the ice. I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions on different training, activities, or exercises that I might be able to do that would keep my skills up. I’d also love to hear if anyone who has had a similar injury had any tips they found helpful during their injury recovery. Thanks so much!

I had a grade 2 MCL tear that happened during practice in my playing days. I somewhat fallowed my physical therapy exercises then thought it was all fine when it really wasn’t. Highly recommend taking the physical therapy seriously and doing all the prescribed workouts, and once you’re cleared to play again I would really recommend taking your off ice training seriously as well. Worst thing you can do is baby the injury rather than putting in the work to strengthen it. My knee bothered me for about a year and what helped the pain eventually go away was doing more and more strength training with high range of motion, high resistance exercises.

Skating
Over the years my stride has progressively got worse I've started stretching and that helps a little bit but is there a better and faster way to fix it

There’s a few things you can do 1) work on single leg balancing that challenge your core and posture to improve you stability 2) functional strengthening exercises like skater lunges, split squats and side step lunges that mimic hockey stride movements 3) plyometric exercises to increase speed and power output
