Even the most ardent hockey fitness enthusiasts aren’t immune to a few summer drinks and barbecues but while that may work for the average person, a professional hockey player has to be very careful with his intake. Failure to monitor diet and alcohol consumption so could adversely affect off ice conditioning. When I asked Ryan about the nutritional demands of a professional hockey player in the off season he provided me with some very specific requirements. “ nutritional demands of an athlete training twice a day are a little bit different than your average person.
Ice Hockey Nutrition and Training — How Players Meet Their Goals in the Pros
Take a behind-the-scenes peek at the work that goes into preparing skaters for a long, strenuous season, courtesy of the New York Islanders’ strength and conditioning coach.
Excess body fat is not an issue for most players in the National Hockey League (NHL). If you have ever watched a professional ice hockey game, especially a multiple-overtime playoff game, you can probably guess why. It takes a lot of energy to repeatedly skate up and down the rink as fast as you can, and extra baggage for that trip can be more costly than what some airlines charge.
Many casual or even dedicated fans may attribute such remarkable endurance merely to the superior athleticism of the players and, of course, some of the best athletes in the world play in the NHL. But no matter how talented an athlete may be, it takes a lot of behind-the-scenes work to get players ready for an 82-game schedule and, with any luck, a lengthy playoff run.
Jesse Demers, CSCS, is the strength and conditioning coach for the New York Islanders hockey team. His job is twofold: help the players train their bodies to withstand the wear and tear of a very long season—81/2 months fr om the first day of training camp to the last game of the Stanley Cup finals—and ensure they have enough energy to put out their maximum effort every game. As with most professional sports, preparation for a new season begins almost immediately after the previous season ends.
So what does that behind-the-scenes nutrition and training look like? Today’s Dietitian spoke with Demers to understand the approach he takes with the New York Islanders during the off-season and when it’s game time.
Getting Started
At the end of a season, Demers meets with each player to review areas for possible improvement. The suggestions can range from trying a different mental

Бросьте закулисный взгляд на работу, которая идет по во время подготовки у спортсменов в течение долгого, напряженного сезона, у тренера " Нью-Йорк Айлендерс ".
Избыток жира в организме не является проблемой для большинства игроков в Национальной хоккейной лиге (НХЛ). Если вы когда-нибудь наблюдали профессиональную игру в хоккей, особенно игру решающей встречи с овертаймом, вы можете догадаться, почему. Много энергии уходит на то, чтобы постоянно кататься на коньках туда и обратно по катку так быстро, как только вы можете, и дополнительный багаж для этой поездки может оказаться более дорогостоящим, чем плата за багаж в некоторых авиакомпаниях. Многие случайные и даже преданные поклонники могут приписать такую замечательную выносливость просто превосходному атлетизму игроков и, конечно же, некоторые из лучших спортсменов в мире играют в НХЛ. Но, независимо от того, насколько талантлив спортсмен может быть, потребуется много работы и усилий, чтобы подготовить игроков к 82-игровому графику и, если повезет, длительному плей-офф в перспективе.
Джесси Демерс является тренером хоккейной команды Нью-Йорк Айлендерс. Его работа имеет двойную цель: помочь игрокам тренироваться, чтобы выдерживать нагрузки длинного сезона -81/2-х месяцев с первого дня тренировочного лагеря до последней игры в финале Кубка Стэнли и гарантировать, что они имеют достаточно энергии чтобы приложить максимум усилий в каждой игре. Как и в большинстве профессиональных видов спорта, подготовка к новому сезону начинается почти сразу же после того, как предыдущий сезон заканчивается.
CONCLUSION
Nutritional intake is dependent on their current status:
– If an athlete needs to lose weight they will require less calories than an athlete that is trying gain weight
– Increased caloric demand would provided by increased protein (~1-2g/kg of body weight) and carbohydrate (which would be consumed in and around their training)
– Eat every 2-3 hours
– Each meal must include lean protein
– Each meal should include vegetables
– 25-35% Calories from fat (unsaturated and saturated)
– eat mostly whole foods
– 90% rule….eat clean 90% of your meals, 10% can be anything
– Pre-workout nutrition (may include): Gatorade, whey protein, BCAAs, HMB, creatine, beta-alanine
Post-workout nutrition (may include);
Gatorade, whey protein, L-Gluatime, BCAAs, creatine, beta-alanine.
The NHL has players from many European countries, and finding nutritious food in a place wh ere they don’t speak the language can be a challenge for them.
