FOREWORD
Let’s face it—hockey players are unlike any other athletes in the world.
I’m not taking anything away from other types of athletes, but I do think
it takes a certain level of skill to fly around an area enclosed by solid,
immovable walls, pushing into ice on thin metal blades while wearing
extra pounds of equipment and using a stick to handle a tiny puck—all
while five opposing players literally try to put you through the glass.
Truth is, hockey players are unique because of the way we move. If you
are a young player reading this, then you know that from an early age we
hockey players are taught to move in unconventional ways to be able to
propel ourselves on skates in every direction possible. Unlike running,
skating requires speed and power in your quads, glutes, and calves as you
push out to the side instead of to the back. Powerful skaters are almost
always overdeveloped in these areas, which can help with performance
but in the long term can lead to many other issues.
Point is, training your body to be fast, explosive, and powerful without
giving up your mobility, athleticism, and longevity has never been more
important. I’m sure when you think of hockey, you think of speed and
power. Training those skills is the fun part, and it can be easy to neglect
your mobility and flexibility. But if you want to be your best for as long
as possible, bringing all these different types of training together is cru-
cial. This can become an intricate process. I mean, how can you focus on
becoming great at all the on-ice skills if you’re preoccupied with a never-
ending checklist of off-ice training? Thankfully, that’s where my good
friends Paul Goodman and Dr. Mike Terry step in.
Dr. Mike Terry has been the orthopedic surgeon for the Chicago Black-
hawks for 12 years. Not only has he seen a ton of orthopedic injuries, but
he has also seen many recoveries. Comprehension of the human body is
one thing, but he takes understanding of the hockey player’s anatomy to the
next level. Seeing Dr. Terry usually means something has gone seriously
wrong, and it’s time to take drastic measures to fix it.
On the other hand, your time with Paul Goodman has neither a begin-
ning nor an end. Paul has been the strength coach for the Chicago Black-
hawks for nearly the same stretch of time as Dr. Terry has been involved
with the team. Work with Paul can range from initial injury prevention
and in-season maintenance to off-season peak performance and injury
rehabilitation. If you want to be a professional hockey player, you have
to put your heart and soul into it. The same can be said for Paul’s level of
commitment to understanding what makes athletes great. Not only does he
help you transform your body, but he also helps you improve your mental,
emotional, and spiritual approach to the game.
