Led by Tanner Somers
Our six-week Summer Strength & Conditioning Program is designed for 2013–2015-born hockey players who want to prepare their bodies for the upcoming season and arrive at fall tryouts ready to compete.
Players will train three or two days per week at the UNB High Performance Centre, focusing on hockey-specific movement, strength development, conditioning, mobility, and proper training habits.
The goal of the program is to help athletes build confidence in the gym, improve their overall athleticism, and develop the physical foundation needed to perform on the ice.

Why This Program
The off-season is where players have the opportunity to build the strength, fitness, and confidence they need before stepping back on the ice for the fall season.
The UNB High Performance Centre is one of the top training facilities in the Fredericton area. Athletes will train in a professional environment with access to high-quality equipment and knowledgeable trainers educated through the Canadian Sport Institute Atlantic.
This program is a great opportunity for young hockey players to spend their summer training the right way, learning proper habits, and preparing their bodies to hit the ice running when tryouts begin.
Program Goal
By the end of the six weeks, players should feel stronger, more athletic, more confident in the gym, and better prepared for the demands of the upcoming hockey season.
Spots are limited to ensure players receive proper coaching and attention throughout the program.
