Off season for many hockey players is a tough time of year.  You need to focus even harder during this time of your hockey season.  Each player needs to look at his or her game, and decide what you need to focus on to become a better player for the following season and work on things.  If you are ever in question as to what you need to focus on, a simple rule for all hockey players is this.  Core and leg strength are number one in the game of hockey!  Wayne Gretzky once said he never saw a weight score a goal, but you can bet your abs and legs on it that he was pretty solid in this area!  So are all of your stars in the NHL today!  Most have legs that look like tree stumps and a mid section of pure rock! Work your legs and abs and you will become a better hockey player! Mike Peluso
