Every player goes through a series of on-ice and off-ice testing 3 times during the year. The testing takes place in September, December, and late May. Over the years we have narrowed our testing to approximately 25 tests which give us the most accurate and most complete assessment of a hockey player's improved level of performance and conditioning.
The coaching staff uses the tests results to clearly identify areas that players need to work on for their individual programs. The players use the testing results to set specific goals and to measure their success in reaching those goals. As they have small successes they gain more confidence and become more highly motivated to reach their next goal. If they are not reaching their goals they make adjustments to their training plan and are motivated to work harder.
Some of on-ice testing includes wrist shot accuracy, wrist shot speed, slap shot speed, stationary stickhandling, dynamic stickhandling at top speed, lateral turns, full ice sprint speed and timing, backward skating speed and timing, wingate sprint speed and skating agility.
