Brochure
 We
are excited to bring our highly successful High Performance Hockey
Conditioning Camps to Ottawa to help athletes reach new levels of
performance both on and off of the ice. The Durham Region, home of many
successful athletes, is known for its love of sport. We are confident
our camps and programs will help continue to drive this tradition and
add to this history of success as we help prepare athletes in the Durham
Region.
The Twist Team is a progressive team,
driven to re-define sport conditioning through knowledge, innovation,
and experience. Our mandate is to build champion athletes and winners in
life with passion and integrity.
Peter Twist, 10 year veteran Strength and
Conditioning Coach of the Vancouver Canucks (NHL) and his team of elite
Sport Conditioning Coaches have successfully optimized the performance
of hundreds of Pro Hockey Players including, Trevor Linden, Markus
Naslund, Peter Schaefer, Mark Messier, Eric Brewer, Ed Jovanovski, Kris
Beech, Bryan McCabe, Mattias Ohlund, Dan Hamhuis, Daniel and Henrik
Sedin, plus hundreds of College, Junior, and elite amateur players with
it’s proven hockey training methods and technologies.
Our goal is to help athletes achieve better
on-ice performance and compete injury free. This will ultimately help
the athletes reach their goals in sport. Physically, we want to make our
players faster, quicker, more agile, powerful, reactive, and the best
conditioned athletes on the ice. Mentally, we instill confidence,
determination, challenge, work-ethic, perseverance, and leadership
through our coaching and training methods.
The Twist Hockey Conditioning System
Peter Twist and
the Twist Conditioning Team have developed a sport conditioning system
that has re-shaped the way athletes train today. The Twist Hockey
Conditioning System focuses on training the secondary fitness
characteristics: anaerobic energetics, dynamic balance, speed, agility,
quickness, movement skills, muscle reactivity, reaction skills, multi
joint strength and power, rotary core strength, eccentric braking,
deceleration-acceleration coupling, power initiation, skill and power
perturbations, sensory overload and other athletic attributes that
transfer well to a players hockey performance, making players more
skilful, competent and durable. Our goal is to improve multi-directional
movement abilities and reduce injuries common in hockey with varying,
unpredictable task demands. Most exciting is that we can now directly
improve skills from a unique style of training alone!
Spring Hockey Conditioning Camps: June 2 - June 27
The 2008 Spring Hockey Conditioning Camp
is offered in a one month off ice format. The 4 week camp will
provide the players an opportunity to focus their efforts on improving
both their on-ice and off-ice skills. A solid foundation of strength and
movement will be established off ice through advanced hockey specific
training methods and as the players take to the ice work will begin on
skating mechanics, speed, quickness, agility, puck skills and
scrimmaging. Players may join at any time throughout the spring camp.
Players may join in at the beginning of any phase or progress
