Abstract
Collegiate ice hockey is a fast paced, physically grueling game. The requirements of this sport place maximal demands on the players' muscular strength and endurance, which can inevitably affect their game performance. The implementation of a periodized, comprehensive training program designed specifically for the brutal and constant demands of hockey is necessary. The purpose of this presentation is to provide collegiate ice hockey players with the most up to date, evidence based, and sports specific strength and conditioning protocol. Due to the hypothetical approach of this presentation, there are limitations as to the generalizability of this research. This program should benefit collegiate ice hockey players and coaches looking to improve athletic performance while preventing injury through sports specific training regiments.
