This summer I was fourtunate to work with 18 high-performance hockey athletes across the NHL, AHL, ECHL, NCAA, CHL, MJHL, and European leagues.
This post is about real force-plate and isometric data, tracked start to finish this off-season.
Every athlete tested improved their Reactive Strength Index (+20% average).
Every hip-strength measure improved, in every athlete tested. Adductor:abductor balance is one of the most well-established groin-strain risk factors in skating populations.
Maximal strength and push-off force both trended up too, and we’re showing the honest range on both, not just the average.
But the number that matters most isn’t the biggest one on the page. What actually keeps a player on the ice is catching what doesn’t show up on a highlight reel: a widening hip imbalance, a new shoulder asymmetry, a pattern that shows up test after test. That’s injury mitigation done right: data-informed decisions, not guesswork.
