Built For Ice
After seeing him join Ho Shin Sool, and having the pleasure of training with "The Muscle Ball" Mike Cowan.... we were finally able to squeak a few words out about him and what he does. Enjoy.
- started working with hockey-specific training in 1994 after graduating from LU
- have been in operation every off-season since
- began with a small group of 6 players; now I will typically have 30-40 players per off-season
- work on a five day per week schedule changing the stresses and energy systems depending on the time within the off-season
- love the natural obstacles of SSM and use them frequently (Finn hill, Second Line Hill, and the grand-daddy of them all, Landslide Ski hill)
- have had the pleasure of working working with dozens of NHL players, European Pro players, former Olympians, World Junior Team Canada players, multiple OHL and NCAA players
- have even recently spent time working with Jeff Elliott, which was awesome on an entirely different level
- found Ho Shin Sool 3 years ago and it is now like a third arm- I take it everywhere I go; I think it, I train for it, I preach it and I do my best to humbly live it! I have finally found a place where I can meet, compete against and befriend people similar to me.
- I receive every week, courtesy of Master Jim, a taste of what it must feel like to fight and I instantly developed a world of respect for all you fighters who face your fears,,,and scrap anyway.
