Hockey
 
What position do you play?.  Did you know that you may have a different body type and muscle mass depending on the position you play and the training you do to be your best in your position.  Goalies have a large musle mass and are more like 'body building gymnasts'.  Defensemen or women like to be strong and fast and may carry more body fat than other team members.  Forwards like to be fast and train to have short bursts or energy in 30 to 40 second intervals.
Hydration and Fluids
Do You Know how much weight (water) a goalie  loses in a game? How much does a defenseman lose?  Weigh yourself before and after a game.  For every pound of weight (.5 kg) loss athletes need to take in more than 500 ml of water or 2+ cups.
