USA Hockey has written an excellent article that interviews Mike Boyle, owner of Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning. He has worked with Boston University, the Boston Red Sox, the Boston Bruins and the 1998 gold-medal winning U.S. Women’s Olympic Team.

This article is focused on 14/16U hockey players who have decided to get serious about hockey.

Boyle believes there are three specific focus areas for proper offseason training: strength training, speed development and interval conditioning.
