September 24, 2009 - As a new addition to the St. Jude Hockey Club organization, the club is now offering an off-ice conditioning facility and workout program. Included in this program comes 3 excited and professional strength coaches, a weekly reminder about how off ice and nutrition can build a good all around hockey player and a sense of accomplishment as the players accomplish more complex workouts and drills as the weeks pass by and their strength improves.

Things you need to know about the off-ice training center!!!
- Do NOT leave your hockey bag in the lobby of SIA - please place bag in the party room in SIA
Arrive on time or at least 10-15 minutes before lesson begins
Bring 1 or 2 bottles of water or sports drink.... (NO pop). Water is terrific!
Flat soled shoes such as Vans or Heelies (shoes with the wheels integrated into the soles) are not good for foot support and are not appropriate for the jump ballistic training in which we will be engaged.
Feel free to bring a sweat bad / baseball type cap / shorts (optional), towel
Expect a little muscle soreness. This will dissipate with hydration and conditioining. A hot bath accompanied by stretching also works well. In extreme cases, an OTC analgesic (ie. Children's Tylenol helps) In the event of a muscle strain / sprain remember R.I.C.E. (rest, ice (first 24 hours), compression and elevation
