Hockey Training
Hockey is decided by explosive first strides, lateral edge control, and the ability to repeat hard shifts all game long. Sports Training Los Angeles builds the off-ice athletic base that supports all three, for ice and roller hockey athletes alike.
Programming covers single-leg power for stride explosiveness, lateral and rotational strength for edge work and puck battles, and interval conditioning matched to real shift length.
How We Train Hockey
Stride Power
Single-leg and hip-extension strength development that transfers directly into first-stride acceleration on the ice.
Edge & Lateral Strength
Lateral and rotational strength work that supports edge control, quick direction changes, and puck-battle stability.
Shift-Length Conditioning
Interval conditioning built around real shift length and bench rest, so power output holds up across a full game.
Off-Ice Contact Prep
Strength and stability work aimed at handling checks and puck battles safely, within age-appropriate limits.
Built on Core Training Methods
Hockey programming draws directly from our core speed, agility, and strength methods, adapted to the sport's specific demands.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you train on the ice?
No — this is off-ice, dryland strength and conditioning training built to support on-ice performance. On-ice skill work should come from a hockey-specific skating or skills coach.
Does this work for roller hockey too?
Yes, the same stride power, lateral strength, and conditioning qualities transfer directly to roller hockey.
How is conditioning structured for hockey?
Interval conditioning is built around actual shift length and bench rest rather than generic steady-state cardio, matching the stop-start demands of the game.
