Strength Training for Hockey Players
Looking to skate harder, shoot faster, and stay in the game longer? Strength training is your edge.
Why Strength Training Matters for Hockey Players
Modern hockey players are built differently — because they train differently. From youth leagues to the NHL, strength training is now a non-negotiable part of performance, injury prevention, and career longevity.
Programs like USA Hockey's ADM and insights from hockey strength coaches have shifted the focus toward building well-rounded athletes with power, mobility, and endurance. At APX MVMT, our strength tracks were designed with those exact goals in mind.
Whether you're training with APX MVMT LAB, dialing in your barbell technique in OLY CLUB, or working 1-on-1 through Private Coaching, you’ll train like an athlete — because hockey is athletic.
Explosive Power = On-Ice Speed
From breakaways to slap shots, hockey is an explosive sport. That means training should focus on force production — especially through the hips, glutes, and core.
Our BYLD Track inside APX MVMT LAB builds lower-body strength and power using proven methods like squats, hinges, and sled work. For athletes who want to take their lifting to the next level, OLY CLUB introduces Olympic lifts and complexes that mimic the speed-strength demands of the game.
You’ll develop the kind of explosiveness that translates directly to quicker first steps and more powerful shots.
Mobility That Matches Your Game
Skating puts your hips, ankles, and shoulders in constant rotation and flexion — which is why mobility needs to be more than static stretching. You need strength through those ranges.
APX MVMT LAB is structured to include both dynamic mobility and controlled strength in positions that matter most for hockey players. All APX MVMT programs includes warm-ups and cool-downs designed to support your positioning, rotation, and joint health, especially for hips, knees, and shoulders.
It’s not about “getting loose.” It’s about building usable, sport-specific mobility that helps you move better and hurt less.
Built for Longevity — So You Can Stay on the Ice
Hockey is tough on the body. But the right kind of training can help you stay in the game for the long haul.
FLOW workouts in MVMT LAB focus on aerobic development, muscular endurance, and joint-friendly movement to balance out the intensity of your season or rec league schedule. Combined with functional strength, these sessions help you recover faster, resist injury, and maintain performance week after week — year after year.
If you want to keep playing deep into your 30s, 40s, or beyond, strength training is how you do it.
The Bottom Line
If you're serious about hockey — whether it’s competitive league play or weekly drop-ins — strength training is the foundation for long-term performance.
More power. Better movement. Fewer injuries.
Train through APX MVMT LAB, lift heavy with OLY CLUB, or get coach support with Private Coaching. No fluff. Just the training that keeps you skating strong.
