In Episode 53 of The Hockey Lab Podcast, Coach A, Coach Gards, and Coach Brian break down the full cycle — from how this offseason shaped up at GRP HQ, to the chaos of training camps, and what smarter in-season training should actually look like.

From injuries and nagging issues that players carry into summer, to the demands of junior and pro camps, the guys share stories, lessons, and practical takeaways for players, parents, and coaches who want to do things right.

🎯 In this episode:

• Why this past offseason sent players to camp more prepared than ever

• The reality of injuries: why almost nobody enters summer 100%

• Why training camps can be a “gong show” — and what smarter testing should look like

• How to structure team training sessions that actually build speed, power & longevity

• The importance of schedules and communication for young athletes

If you’ve ever wondered what really goes on behind the scenes — this one pulls the curtain back.
