2008 High Performance Hockey Conditioning Camps

We are excited to bring our highly successful High Performance Hockey Conditioning Camps to Whitby 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!
