Dryland Hockey Training on Synthetic Ice
Dryland hockey training has changed over the years to the point that you can now do what would still be accurately call “dryland hockey training” while wearing your skates. Ice hockey training has changed dramatically over the years. For those of us old enough to remember back to the 1972 Canada/Russia series we recall a Team Canada that was playing itself into shape as the series progressed. Back in those days hockey players took the summer off, training camp was primarily to get back into shape.
Now for any serious hockey player it’s a 12 month commitment to excellence if you want to keep up with the competition. So what do you do in the off season to continue to improve? Depending on where you are there may be very limited access to ice rinks. Dryland hockey training has been around for many, many years. In fact, when I think back to that 1972 series I remember how fit the Russian team was because of the extensive and exhausting dryland hockey training that they did leading up to the series. There are definite benefits to dryland training including building up strength, durability, stamina and flexibility, but there are also limitations to how much direct hockey training you can have without actually lacing up the skates and training on ice.
