Skills Camp - 1 hour
Scrimmage - 30 minutes
Spent an hour working on sticking handling, skating with the puck, obstacle drills with the puck. Intermixed with taking 2 laps around thr rink at random intervals.
Did a scrimmage for 30 minutes, until my right knee said “That’s enough”.

Wednesday Night Skate - 1 hour
Knees felt ok. Did a lot better position and play then last week. Made some bad passes but then again so do the pros. Had the hometown player from my college there at the skate, it’s always amazing to watch hockey players with talent play the game. He kept it dialed down but still always being where the puck was going and some of the moves to get past us old guys was jaw-dropping.
Went to the parking lot to drink beer, grill burgers and brats, and watch the two game 7’s tonight of the the playoffs.

Made it half a mile from the gym and a back tire went flat on the Suburban. Of course the spare was at the storage garage… Walked to Walmart and back to give a can a fixaflat a try. Fail.
Fortunately one of my hockey buddies was still up and came to give me a ride to get tire, tools, and floor jack. He even brought beer.

Adult Skills Camp - 1 hour
More skating drills, crossovers, backwards crossovers, passing and shooting drills. Ended up with board to board sprints.

Wednesday Night Men’s Skate - 1 hour
Unfortunately ate dinner to close to the skate. Spent every shift trying to not re-eat General Tso’s Chicken. Didn’t help we had low numbers and only one guy on our bench…
Did better then last week, made several very good defensive plays, including stopping the best player at the skate by blocking his shot on the net and then clearing the puck and getting an assist.

You certainly get a great workout from hockey, but your squat numbers have been stagnant for some time. Why not try a bit heavier squatting? Should contribute to hockey, not that you need it.
Umm… knee pain.
That has been improving. Weights are going up with each cycle. 531 is a slow progression.

Short benched again, 2 on the bench each side. Again made some descent defensive plays, better job anticipating. Still need to work on the offense.

Took it at lunch. Needed the break from work.
Hockey - 1 hour
Adult skills camp. Lot’s of passing and shooting drills.
I admire your dedication and passion… you sure put your time in at the rink !!
Only way to get better.
I picked up a part time job at the ice rink, so now I can skate all of the stick and puck sessions for free.
Plus I might be able to use the AAA gym, which has two lifting platforms and bumper plates.
Current plan is to try to get 3-4 30 minutes skates a week in just to work on technically skating skills.
