Everyone will tell you that it's important for a hockey player to be flexible and mobile and that you should be stretching. ⁠
⁠
But what they don't tell you is that, just like strength training, your mobility exercises need to be hockey-specific.⁠
⁠
Look at the areas of the body that are directly related to how you move on the ice.⁠
⁠
The shoulders for example, are essential for puck handling, shot power and shot accuracy.⁠
⁠
Tight, rounded shoulders will usually result in a forward head position which will diminish your game vision and increase your risk of injury.⁠
⁠
That's why the pros include mobility exercises like this one.⁠
