Tommy was coming off a pretty good season
The talented winger had put up 32 points in his first season of junior hockey.
With that momentum, he had worked harder than he ever had in the off-season. He worked with a skills coach, he shot thousands of extra daily pucks, and he had increased all his lifts in the gym.
He was amped up heading into the season - expecting this to be is breakout year.
But things started slow.
A point drought, a groin tweak, less ice time.
But it was finally getting demoted to the bottom line & seeing only a handful of shifts that he decided he needed change.
That’s when he reached out to us.
He had been reading some of Coach Kyle’s articles and wanted to connect to see what he could change to get his edge
"I feel like I'm capable of a lot more. I've always wanted to play D1, and last year had some interest from teams... but I feel like I've fallen off the map. I got stronger over the summer but feel like it didn't do anything for me."
We chatted more about how he could shift his training from just old school strength style to a more hybrid training structure, incorporate more mobility, and start to rebuild his body to thrive on the ice.
After a great conversation about training, he finally asked – “I don't want to wait until next off-season, what can I be doing right now?”
This was refreshing. So many youth and junior players don’t even consider serious strength & conditioning in-season aside from half-assed team workouts. They consider development only for the off-season, and therefore miss out on literally 66% of their development opportunity.
Tommy was committed to getting better now. It was the pro mentality of get better year with every opportunity you can.
So we created the ultimate strength & conditioning that be doing during the hockey season. Merging training that would optimize his body for performance on game day while also developing the physical attributes that would take his game to the next level.
We started training to thrive where it counts – on the ice.
Each week he started to notice little changes – his body started to feel better, his stride started feeling smoother, he had more explosiveness in first steps.
He started to make more opportunities on the ice. Whether it was burning a defender with a cut back down low or driving the puck to the net off the rush – points started rolling in. He was confident in making plays, instead of looking to dish off under pressure.
Soon he got bumped to second line and PP2.
It had only been a few months, but he felt his entire game shifted.
Come play-off time, he was buzzing.
He looked stronger, faster, and more dynamic than training camp.
He finished the season with over 1.5 points per game. And his playoff performance was equally impressive – earning the attention of dozens of D1 scouts, and eventually offers.
He had gone from being relegated to a “role player” to a breakout star – earning a division 1 scholarship for his work.
We took “Tommy’s Program” and continued to evolve it with more players – all who had more banner years, from European pros to OHL players to varsity/prep school players.
The Relentless In-Season Program was born.
Today, it’s been used by hundreds of players at all levels. While we continue to refine and evolve the program each season, players continue to evolve their game to the next level.

Built to make hockey players faster.
The Relentless Explosive Power Program is Strength & Conditioning program specifically designed for hockey players to develop more explosive power that translates to speed on the ice.
This proven 12-week training system has been used by hundreds of players at all levels to develop the physical attributes they need to thrive on the ice and the speed they need to take their game to the next level.
At Relentless, we build off-ice workouts for on-ice performance. Delivering the exact Strength & Conditioning hockey players need to start moving, performing, and playing better where it counts. We deliver the training that translates.
We break this into the four “Relentless Pillars”:
The exact workout structure that elite hockey players are using to build their body.
No more fluff, randomness, or bodybuilding style workouts. This is training 2.0 - with full-body and integrative workouts designed to challenge every facet of your body with each workout including:
Build a bulletproof body.
Each Relentless workout starts with a series of mobility and activation exercises specifically designed to injury-proof the body while addressing the common imbalances and mobility restriction in hockey players’ bodies.
Speed is the variable of success for hockey players.
That’s why each workout has a specific work designed to improve your on-ice speed.
Depending on the day, this is either plyo-based and power-focused exercises designed to generate more power in your stride and develop you into a more explosive skater OR speed focused work designed to develop your foot speed, change of direction, and refine your athleticism.
Hockey demands strength and power.
We don't just lift weights. We develop the functional strength and power that Hockey Players need to thrive in today's game.
We’ve eliminated old-school exercises and “weight room strength” and instead focus on developing the kinetic chains that allow athletes to translate their strength and power more effectively where it counts.
The three areas that hockey players can never get enough of.
Each Relentless workout finishes with extra mobility and either extra core or conditioning.
Extra core consists of exercises that build total core strength allowing hockey players to shoot harder, play stronger, and never get pushed off the push again.
Conditioning isn’t just about getting bagged. We focus on developing the specific energy systems that translate to a hockey shift, period, and game. Earn more ice time by being in elite conditioning.
Relentless Mobility isn’t just about stretching. It’s about intentionally improving range of motion and eliminating movement restrictions and chronic tension from areas that hockey players struggle with so that they can feel, move, and perform better.
Random training generates random results. Get access to 6 phases of ultra dialled training.

I’ve always trained hard, lifted heavy, and felt strong on the ice… but got to a point that I felt that my training wasn’t helping me get faster. Working with Relentless Hockey taught me to train more athletically and transfer my strength into speed and explosiveness. I feel WAY FASTER out there and it’s been a complete difference maker in my game!
I’ve been very impressed with the relentless programs. In Slovenia we have very little hockey training like this, it’s either heavy bodybuilding work or light plyo work. I’ve really enjoyed that this program has it all. The strength work is very good for hockey players core and stability and getting strong on the ice. My stride and change of direction is one of the biggest impacts I’ve noticed. It feels way more explosive. Thank you for this program!
The best hockey training program I’ve ever followed. Other programs have gotten me strong but with relentless program I notice my performance improve on the ice. Core strength is very solid and speed has improved significantly. Good workouts with good challenge.
6 weeks in and I can already feel it on the ice.. It feels like I turned up my speed attribute on chell or all the sudden unlocked speed boost. Workouts are sweet. Always a challenge, always something new. But the on-ice results are what matter and I’m feeling it already! Can’t wait for this season.
I was mid-pack at our pre-summer testing and literally was top 3 for every single test at training camp. All my coaches have commented on having an “extra gear” on the ice too.. I’m more explosive than I’ve ever been and can feel the impact on my game. So fired up heading into this season, thanks fellas!
I’ve always worked hard off the ice but having access to Relentless Hockey has taken my training to the next level. Getting faster was my top priority this off-season and this was the perfect game plan to get me where I wanted to be. Not only did workouts help me get stronger and more explosive, but the mobility/prehab work has me feeling fantastic. This is exactly what I needed!
