The end result is not just strength in the weight room, but being stronger in a standing position on-ice. The DVD features a series of exercises that are designed to transfer directly to hockey skills, including puck protection, body checking, shooting, fighting through checks, and offensive creativity. Among the topics covered: commonalities for hockey lifting, chest exercises, back exercises, shoulder exercises, and arm exercises.
