Integrating NHL and AHL Strength and Conditioning
Sean SkahanStrength Coach Anaheim Mighty Ducks
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.

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. . . . keep reading

The flip side is that Canadian junior level players experience a “pro” type schedule, playing three to four times per week and travelling up to 6 hours by bus to play a game. The obvious downside is that there is clearly not much time for training and recovery. . . . keep reading
