A typical issue Hockey players face during hockey season:

Losing weight.

Specifically, losing Muscle mass.

It's not uncommon to see guys who finished the off-season weighing 185 pounds drop down to 175-180 (or below) in-season.

Or, if they stay at 185, it won't be a lean 185. They'll get softer.

In any case, the result remains the same:

Decreased muscle mass.

Higher body fat percentage.

Next thing you know, your strength plummets because you're carrying less muscle.

And, since strength​ builds the basis for speed and power, so does your skating.

Why does this happen?

For one, I often see players using light weights for fear of Lifting heavy interfering with on-ice practice and games.

Someone who was power cleaning 220 pounds in the summer now puts 135 on the bar to "stay fresh".

A 300-pound front squatter won't go above two wheels because he wants to "remain explosive".

BIG mistake.

Low-intensity training (defined as a % of your 1RM) combined with a low lifting volume (which in-season training is by default)...

That's perfect for making lean mass disappear faster than a chocolate chip cookie at a Weight Watchers meeting.

The complete opposite of what you want to happen with an athlete who wants to play his best hockey 7+ months after off-season comes to an end.

So how do you retain muscle heading into the final stretch of the regular season?

How do you make sure you'll be in top shape for playoff hockey?

And not a weaker, slower version of yourself when the title is on the line?

The in-season lifting programs in Next Level Hockey Training 2.0 show you exactly how.

Many of my junior players actually ADD lean muscle during hockey season on it.

Not to mention the lifting PR's flowing like female juices at a Backstreet Boys concert when following the workouts inside.
