I’m not usually one to post a lot, but I had to share this.

The other day I stopped into in Thorold just to see what they had to offer while I was on my way to train at in Niagara Falls — and it turned into such a great experience, I had to give them a shoutout 👏

I spent some time shooting pucks with Rick trying out a few new sticks, and the level of customer service and attention was honestly next level. Nothing forced — just genuine people who really know their stuff and care about the athletes they’re working with.

They’ve got everything you need from Bauer, CCM, and True, plus gear for lacrosse, baseball, cycling, and even pickleball.

And if you’re looking to level up your team gear, Alessandra, Bev, and Dom in marketing will take care of you every step of the way.

Just one of those drop-in visits that reminds you where it’s worth going 💯

If you’re in the Niagara Region, definitely a place to check out.

I thought I could skip recovery mode, but that was not the case.

So I used this time for moments of reflection.

The days after a competition are when you feel the most vulnerable. You put everything on the line. Your body is tired. Your mind is processing. And you’re forced to look honestly at what happened.

That feedback is where the next steps begin.

I’m lucky to be a part of different things in sport and life, but competing will always be a part of who I am. Competition exists everywhere — whether it’s on the platform or in work. It’s a language I understand. And I believe it brings out the best versions of ourselves.

That’s why I’m so pro-competition. I think everyone should step on a stage at some point, challenge themselves, and try to become a better version of who they are.

The funny thing is that even when you’re exhausted, there’s this restless feeling that shows up after competition. Your mind starts asking what’s next.

For me, I’ve worked across many domains, many skills, many pursuits. My mind stretches in a lot of directions when I start thinking about what I could challenge myself with next.

I do have some competitions on the docket. But more than anything, I want to see the best version of myself as an athlete. And I believe these next few years will show the best athlete I’m capable of becoming — but only if I am honest.

I’ve been in these moments before. It’s about being precise with the details.

These are the times that show whether every hour spent, every day in the gym, was worth it. These are the moments where you trust the work and make the decisions that move you forward.

So I’m curious — what’s next?

That’s the thing about competitors.
The moment one challenge ends, the mind starts searching for the next one.

And I can already feel that pull toward the next challenge.

This is one way of doing power stairs I guess - and still will be the most memorable event at the Arnold this year.

1st Pin - 285 lbs
2nd Pin - 330 lbs

Nothing compares to the rush of the big stage. Leaving it all out there in a very TWoods type of way.

Arnold 2026

My year 1 looks drastically different from my year 5. Working hard does pay off and this is just another way that I showed that I can roll with the big dogs 😤

But all I care about is rolling with the crew and people that support me.

I’ve had conversations with people on what support actually is. Especially in 2026 it looks drastically different from 2023. But support is being there for someone or something in any shape or form. I.e even when our awards ceremony happened after hours and then at the Arnold statue - everyone was still there.

I’m proud of how all my athletes performed this weekend (even my u11 team that played from afar). You stepped up onto a bigger stage and battled. It wasn’t perfect, but that’s what competition is all about - and why we need support each other in the first place.

I ended up placing 5th. It wasn’t my most spectacular weekend but I did the things I needed to do to get the job done.

Thanks to and for helping run the TWoods Training crew all weekend. Great job again to all the Twoods Training crew - .taylor . All the friendly faces competing and all the Canadians representing on a big stage. And to the volunteers - yes it was a hectic time but thank you for your dedication on running this event.

Now back to work!

When I run hockey drills, I’m not looking for players to just go through the motions.

I’m watching habits.

The drills I use always focus on:
Quick decision making.
Puck control under pressure.
Edge work with balance.
Ex*****on at game speed.

Anyone can look smooth in a slow drill.

I want my athletes comfortable making plays when everything feels fast and chaotic.

That’s how you train hockey.

Not for the highlight.
For the shift.

Strength work isn’t separate from sport, it’s the foundation of it.

Every lift, every explosive rep, every controlled movement is building what athletes need in competition:

More power.
More balance.
More control under pressure.
More durability when fatigue hits.

If your body isn’t strong enough to produce force, absorb force, and repeat it over and over, skill alone won’t carry you.

We train to create force.
We train to control it.
We train to sustain it.

Because performance isn’t built during competition. It’s built here.

02/23/2026

Strength doesn’t happen by accident.

It’s built rep by rep. Set by set. Load by load.

In this session I’m progressively adding weight because that’s how real lower body power is developed.

For my hockey athletes, progressive overload matters.

More force production.
More powerful strides.
Stronger position in contact.
Better durability through a season.

We don’t just lift the same weight every week and hope for change.

We earn heavier weight.
We move it with control.
Then we build again.

That’s how speed and power are created off the ice and carried onto it.

02/20/2026

When I run hockey drills, I’m not just looking at effort.

I’m looking at habits.

I train my hockey athletes to think and execute at the same time.

Every drill should build:
Puck control under pressure.
Quick decision making.
Accuracy, not just power.
Ex*****on at game speed.

I want my athletes comfortable in uncomfortable reps.
Because that’s what a real shift feels like.

Train with purpose. The results follow.
