I am 30, I play in a senior mens league as well as pick up when ever I can.

At the risk of sounding conceded, I am failry good, I have my off games, but I've also stolen a few.

Recently I have taken to working out much more inorder to improve my life in general, but also to help with my hockey.

My work out usually consists of running a 5K followed by

Upper back

Chest

Shoulders

Uper arm

Lower Arm

Lower back

Stomach

Sides (obleek SP?)

As well as streaching.

I have seen a noticable improvement in my endurance... but thats about it

I talk to my friends/forwards and offer them tips on what they could be doing better, Look me off dont telagraph your shot that sort of thing.

Well last week it finally caught up with me, we were having a schrimage, and I decided to go play for the "weaker" team and got ABUSED for an entire hour I was beat up, after 30 min the fun was GONE ....

Their trick was two fold

A) they out lasted me .... When in a shotting they held the puck longer then they usualy would (between 3-5 seconds in a shooting lane with a clear line to the net)

The effect of this was taking my instinctual "reaction" out of my play... I had to sit there and wait on them .....usualy causing me to commit first.....


B) they worked me over up high.... My glove used to be a stregnth, but I think I have become too dependant on the B-Fly as my primary "reaction" and I think that they finaly have caught on to this...

So....Help me out .... As somebody who as limited ice time (pregame is usualy about it for practice)

How can I work on my

A) Timing
B) Gloves
C) Angles (I have been known to get beat just by being farther to the left or right then I thought I was)


Thanks much !
