Just because you’re not chasing the dream anymore doesn't mean you can’t train to perform your best.
Hockey’s more fun when you’re in shape. When you can out skate players, play strong on the puck, have gas in the tank all shift long, and feel great the next day.
But getting in hockey shape doesn’t mean you have to train like an NHLer. Now there’s a training system that gives you the exact game plan to feel better, move better, and perform better on the ice.
“I feel like I’m a fat old man out here playing against college kids.. it's absolutely brutal.”
Our buddy Jamie was bent over the bench, looking as if he had just finished a marathon, after what was probably his third shift.
“I know you guys didn’t get faster, but it feels like I’m skating around with a parachute on my back – I literally can’t do s**t out there.”
The rest of the boys laughed. The league was good this year and, like every season, gotten a bit faster.. but the reality was that Jamie had lost his game.
He was always a good player. He had played some junior in high school, skated with his college & pro buddies in the summer, and was a quality men’s league player.
But “adult life” had caught up with him. His job was busy. He'd go to the gym, but only for some strength work. He started skating less, and then when he had his first kid came he decided to give up hockey for the year.
None of this is uncommon for guys, but the reality, was when came back hockey just wasn't as fun.
He was constantly getting out skated or caught by the back check. He'd lose battles in the corner or foot races for pucks. Shifts felt exhausting, and not to mention the next day he'd walk around sore & tight like like he just finished an ironman.
That's when he sent Coach Kyle, who he knew had been working with NHL prospects and pros, a text after a game:
“I know you work with elite guys, but is there any chance you could throw something together for me? I’ve actually been hitting the gym a couple times a week – but I just feel like it’s done nothing for me. I haven’t gotten TOO fat, but honestly it feels like I’m an out of shape version of my dad out there playing with a bunch of young 20-something ringers. Not to mention my body completely feels like crap. This isn’t fun anymore, I either gotta give it up or fix my body.”
The truth was, we had never worked with a beer leaguer before, but the fact a guy had lost his passion for the game and hockey wasn’t fun anymore really hit home.
So, we decided to create a program that would fit his lifestyle:
We gave him the program and then didn’t hear from him for 6 weeks.
Finally Coach Kyle got a text at midnight one night that read:
“Bud, not gonna lie these workouts are really starting to show. I probably had my best men’s league game in probably 10 years. I know I went MIA but I’ve been doing every workout, each week I’ve been feeling better. I've dropped probably 10lbs (which the wife likes) but honestly it’s nothing compared to how I feel on the ice AND how my body feels off the ice.”
We were amped. We had condensed the training system we use with pros into something that could be used by a player just looking to feel, move, and play better.
The next week, Kyle got another text:
“Can a couple of the boys get in on this program too? We’re all gonna follow it for the next month, they’re noticing the gas and wanna get on it!”
And so, the Weekend Warrior program was created.
It started with 5 of Jamie’s teammates. The next season he had 12 guys asking from around the league, which became 32 by the end of the season. And we continued to refine the program to make it the most efficient and effective program possible for beer league players.
After 2 seasons of refining the program to be as effective & efficient as possible, and now dozens of beer league players raving about their workouts – we decided to launch it to the public. Since then it's been used by thousands of hockey players. From average Joes trying to get better on the ice, to ex-pros getting back in "hockey shape" to guys of all ages just wanting play more, better, and for long!
After years of offering this program, the only negative comment we've received is “who trains for beer league, it’s supposed to be for fun.”
Jamie replied for us – “trust me, hockey is way more fun when you’re in hockey shape and can dominate”.

You might not be a pro, but you still have hockey ambitions. A lot of beer leaguers continue to get in workouts in the gym, but with old school workouts that don’t leave them looking, feeling, and performing better.

I’m back mf’er!!! I took 2 years off with covid and everything going on and my first skate I felt like I was 85 out there. With all the new young guys in the league it was either get my a** in shape or move down a division. Thankfully found you guys at the right time. These workouts have been deadly and I’m back feelin even better than I was!!
15 years since I played college hockey and my first 2 weeks I felt like absolute s**t. My wife said I should see if there’s a hockey workout program that I could find and that’s when I found you guys.. I gotta say I legitimately wish I had you guys when I was still playing. These workouts are killer, I genuinely got my legs back, and feel like a hockey player again.
Hey Kyle, I just wanted to say how impressed I am with this program! I’m a Chiropractor and just wanted a change to my workouts and something that would help with hockey.. But the mobility and “prehab” work here is impressive! My body genunely feels better than it has after hockey in years. I’ve stolen a lot of the exercises for my clients.
I know you guys work with a lot of pros.. But as a D league player who didn’t start playing hockey until 32 I gotta say you’ve had a huge impact on how much I’ve been enjoying hockey this year. It feels like I’m finally getting the stride that better players have and playing stronger with the puck. From your favourite D-league player.. I just gotta say
