Year-Round Strength and Conditioning Programs
At Northwood, we firmly believe athletes are made in the off season. Our boys’ hockey players don’t sit back and relax in their short offseason. 而不是, we continue to provide them with training opportunities throughout the year so that they are always ready to get back on the ice.
We have a 12-month strength-and-conditioning program designed and run by a specialist. Our hockey players also have full access to the on-campus fitness center, and we provide a comprehensive nutrition plan and guidance for our athletes while they are on campus and traveling.
