The Top Hand is King
Roll the wrists for more control
When you stickhandle, shoot or pass, the top hand is the control hand. Developing that "wrist roll" is crucial to fundamental mastery. Often times the bottom hand gets in the way by "squeezing" too tight, and limiting your range of motion.
This month's featured product, The Halo, is a great training tool to really work on the strength and quickness of rolling your wrists. Here are some key benefits:
• Develops muscle memory of wrist roll
• Helps teach proper wrist shot
• Creates crisper passes/softer hands
• Develops crazy fast hand reactions
Make sure to check out some Quick Tip Videos using the Halo. It is a killer workout and very addicting.

Weights vs No Weights
What is the real deal with pumping iron?
There is so much talk these days about "functional strength"
and the movement away from weights. I had the chance to talk
with my good friend and strength guru Jerrod Maguire about
this topic in Arizona.
Here are some of the positives about using some type
of weight training in your program...
- Mental connection to weights, strong focus and attention
- Increase bone density, as we get older, even more important
- Increase strength, look at pro athletes, all use a weight program
- Increase range of movement/activities
- Reduce body fat, raises metabolism to burn more far
- Improve heart condition, lower blood preasure
- It just feels good!

Stop looking for the next big thing and start DOING?
- Drink Water first thing in the morning...It helps flush your system and gets the metabolism boiling. A hydrated body will perform better and be less prone to injury!
- Stretch when you get up and before you go to bed...It will get your body moving and warmed up for the day and release tension and help you sleep better at night. Plus, it will reinforce your commitment to your body and health.
- Deep Breathing throughout the day...It will help you be better aware, alert and focused for the day. It will also help a ton on the rink, not being so stiff and tense! Practice deep breathing at red lights, in class, and on the rink at practice.

Fuel your day Breakfast is the key...
Want to kick your metabolism into overdrive?
- If you want to burn fat you have to eat breakfast. Conventional wisdom would lead you to believe that if you do not eat, you cannot gain weight. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you rob your body of food and nutrients, your body does not have the fuel to burn fat.
- How warm is a fire with just one log on it? You could barely roast a marshmallow. However, when you stoke the fire, the flames burn brightly. That is how your body works!
- Don’t skip on the most important meal of the day. It will not only give you a boost to your metabolism, but it will make you more alert and mentally prepared for the day. It is hard to concentrate when your stomach is rumbling. According to a 2007 survey conducted by the International Food Information Council, only half of us eat breakfast every day.
- Try these tasty treats: oatmeal, cereal, waffles, eggs, smoothies, fruit, nuts. A balanced breakfast has three parts: produce, whole grains and protein!
- Make sure to drink plenty of water...drink, drink, drink up!
