Hockey is a strength sport disguised as a skill sport, and Vaughan has no shortage of rinks or players. What almost nobody keeps up is real off-ice training. EMS at Speciale Fitness on Jane Street compresses it into 20 minutes. Here is how local players train smarter in 2026.
The game is won in the first stride
Watch any fast skater: separation happens in the first three strides, pure explosive leg power built off the ice. EMS loads glutes, quads and hips at once.
Strong on the puck means core
Winning body position along the boards is core and balance. EMS activates the deep trunk muscles that keep you upright through contact.
Fits a hockey life on Jane Street
A 20-minute coached session twice a week at 9441 Jane Street survives late games and early work, and being low-impact, it will not wreck you for Thursday night ice.
Last shift like the first
Stronger legs fade later, and the Fit3D scans show the muscle behind it.
