Trainning is going great. I gained 10 pounds already. I changed my trainning to more speed related excercises, and it made a huge difference.

Yesterday i had dryland training 4 2 hours straight inside. it was about 30 degree Celsius, so me and my friends were burning hot and all felt like puking. then after that i had 2 go 2 hockey 4 1 hour 15 min. after that i died, but my dad say i looked pretty good. then the weird part came. i could not fall asleep.

As some people might know, I was injured last season, so I did not play at all last year. Today, I just started goalie trainning for the first time in months. It was AWESOME!

I'd like to get some feedback and thoughts on the topic of off-season training versus just playing a Summer sport or combining both. Also thoughts on how much ice outside of a goaltending camp, if any, considered to be sufficient to maintain skills.
