August Off-Ice Testing

Fifteen players attended today's off-ice testing.  It is a little difficult to interpret results since so many players have started soccer and have been practicing hard.

Saw great improvement on the box jumps and bench press.  We did not test the mile or 40 yard sprint because of the running already done in soccer.

The next test will be in November as part of our team evaluation process.  I have created a spreadsheet so players can see their results from June to November.

BEST SCORES from AUGUST:

Pull-Ups - 13
T-Test - 8.5
Box Jumps - 33
Vertical - 26"
Bench Press - 22

Blue Bombers' Off-Ice Testing - Round 2

Thursday, August 22nd will be the second off-ice testing for hockey.  I have heard that many players have participated in some form off off-ice training this summer which is encouraging.

The 22nd will give those players an opportunity to see how they have improved their speed, quickness, strength and endurance.  We will meet at the LPHS gym at 4:30 and testing will hopefully be completed by 6:00 PM.

The six tests we will run:

1-mile run
T-test (agility)
Bench press (70% of weight max # of reps)
Pull-ups
Vertical leap
Height/Weight

ALL PLAYERS PLANNING ON TRYING OUT ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND.  IF YOU MISSED THE JUNE TESTING YOU CAN STILL PARTICIPATE IN THE AUGUST TESTING.

Remember, our coaching staff will require these six tests as part of our evaluation process in early November.
