Integrating NHL and AHL Strength and Conditioning

As the strength and conditioning coach of an NHL organization, one of my responsibilities is to implement our program with our minor league team in the American Hockey League (AHL). Each NHL organization has a minor league team affiliated with them in the AHL. While some teams in the AHL employ strength and conditioning coaches, some organizations will send their NHL strength and conditioning coach to work with them during the season. With most NHL teams being far away from their AHL team, getting there frequently can be a challenging task. As a result, throughout the course of the season, most NHL strength and conditioning coaches will make scheduled visits to their AHL team throughout the course of the season. In our situation, I try to get to our AHL team in Portland, ME, as frequently as possible. I will make 4-5 1-week trips to Portland in conjunction with our NHL team ( Anaheim Ducks) being on long road trips. . . . (to read the remainder of this article, please log in below.)
