    We’re Back: Meet Our New Host, Coach Tim Lebbossiere

    In this debut episode, we’re thrilled to welcome new podcast host Coach Tim Lebbossiere, Assistant Performance Coach for the Boston Bruins. Coach Tim kicks things off by introducing himself, answering listener questions, and sharing his expert insights into hockey performance. He offers a glimpse into his coaching style and training methodologies, emphasizing the year-round importance of power and explosive work. Listeners will also gain actionable advice on in-season conditioning, structuring speed training, and optimizing pregame warm-ups to ensure peak on-ice performance. This is just the beginning—new interview-style episodes with Coach Tim will be released monthly, each packed with valuable strategies and insights to help hockey players take their game to the next level! Takeaways Power and explosive work should be emphasized year-round. Strength training has a longer residual effect than speed training. In-season conditioning should be tailored to ice time and player needs. Distance running may not be the best option for hockey players. Low-impact conditioning methods are preferable for hockey training. Goalies require different conditioning strategies than skaters. Speed work should be divided into acceleration, max velocity, and change of direction. Warm-ups should include mobility, activation, and neural activation components. Pregame lifting should focus on low volume to avoid fatigue. Individualized training is crucial for optimizing player performance.
