Ultimate Hockey Training Testimonials
“FINALLY I’ve found a book that summarizes everything I’ve learned over my last 35 years in the strength and conditioning industry. In Ultimate Hockey Training, author Kevin Neeld has provided a comprehensive blueprint of how a professional strength coach goes about designing a successful off-ice training program. Kevin lays it out in simple but thorough format and shows the reader all the basic factors that need to be taken into account when evaluating and customizing a long term plan for his athletes. The book covers a wide range of training aspects and progressions and outlines training at a very young age all the way up to the pro level.
Many of the topics discussed are very complicated but Kevin does a great job of explaining things in a simple way while still providing enough of the science involved to satisfy the more advanced reader.
Whether you’re a parent who is looking for the correct way to help your child develop as an athlete or a strength coach that deals with professional hockey players, Ultimate Hockey Training will provide guidance to help you be successful. If only this book had been around when I first started!”

“Off ice training time is highly valuable and should be approached systematically in order to maximize its benefits.

“If you are looking for a laundry list of exercises that may or may not help your athletes become better hockey players, then keep on looking. In Ultimate Hockey Training, Kevin Neeld has written the most complete guide available to help strength coaches, personal trainers and even hockey players understand not only what they need to do, but why they need to do it! Kevin has painstakingly drawn back the curtain of hockey training, exposing the myths (and there are a lot of them) and showing you the science behind a properly designed hockey training program.
There has never been such a thorough and well thought out book on the topic and it will be extremely difficult for anyone to better this one. This one will remain close to my desk at the gym for years to come.”

Off-Ice Performance Training Course Testimonials
“Hockey Training University’s Off-Ice Performance Training Course is the most complete training product I’ve read to date. It is full of information to enable coaches and players, who do not have the fitness background and education to properly train to increase their abilities and success. Although the information in this manual is very intense, it is laid out well enough for anyone to understand. I use the methods detailed in this course twice a week to increase the speed and strength of my players, and also before every game to properly warm up and become what I refer to as “game ready”. I’ve seen a nice improvement in performance and durability this season. 11 games in (8-1-2) and zero injuries. All coaches and players will benefit from Kevin Neeld’s teachings here and I look forward to many more coaching tools from him in the future.”

“The HTU course is one of the best off-ice training educational tools I’ve ever come across. The progression of workouts ensures that players will continuously improve their strength, speed, and agility. Through a variety of exercises, the monotony of dryland practices will be over, and players will look forward to coming together as a team to train. Coaches, players, and parents will see the results in attitude and performance. If you’re looking for a more effective method to implement off-ice practices into your team’s routine, this is it.”

The best part about this manual is that Kevin speaks on a level that anyone can comprehend. High quality information has never been so easy to implement.

Do yourself and your athletes a favor and pick up a copy of this program and I guarantee that you will not be disappointed.”
