THE THANG:
In light of Happy Gilmore as well as the USA Men’s and Women’s Hockey teams winning Gold at the Olympics, I put together something fun yet challenging to improve our hockey #3S2T.
An NHL hockey rink is 200ft long x 85ft wide. The large parking lot in front of the church is a little larger – approx 240′ x 100′. Go big and train to compete, right? There were 8 cones set up around our rink, each with exercises and a mode of transportation to the next cone. Start at cone 1, do the exercise, move to the next. Happy Gilmore may not have been the best skater or shooter, but damn he was intense. No rest in between as Happy would want it
Note: DC = double count
Cones:
1. ICING CALL on the opponent! Puck dropped but they won it. SKATE to go on defense! >> Eric Heiden’s to #2. (aka lateral lunge runs).
2. On defense in the corner. Happy falls on the ice and can’t get up! >> 30 dying cockroaches (DC) and 20 hammers (DC) >> Bear crawl to #3 (approx 25 yds)
3. GET UP OFF THE ICE HAPPY!! In front of the net, blocking shots. >> 10 burpees. >> Strides to #4 (think of a run while skipping, knees up high).
4. Happy was a pugilist. In the opposite defensive corner of the rink. Work on your enforcer abilities! >> 20 planks w alternating punches (DC), 20 Cobra Kai’s (DC) (while holding a deep squat, alternate punching) >> GO ON OFFENSE!! >> Strides to #5 (opposite end corner of the parking lot)
5. We are wide open!! Pass me the puck!! Signal your teammates >> 40 SSH (DC) >> You got the puck, move to the net! >> Strides to # 6 (center rink, offensive side)
6. TAKE THE SHOT!! Practice your SLAPSHOT!! >> 30 Apolo Ohno’s w arm swings. >> Bear crawl to #7 (opposite corner, offensive side, approx 30 yds)
7. YOU SCORED!! Now taunt the LOSERS!! >> 30 monkey humpers, 20 dirty dogs (10 each leg). >> Mary Katherine Lunge to #8 (a lunge walk, while you are lunging, you are extending both arms overhead, like a touchdown signal).
8. CELEBRATE!! Raise Lord Stanley’s Cup!!! At center rink. With a cinderblock, 20 curls then 20 overhead presses. Did you know: The Stanley Cup weighs 35 lbs, and a cindy weighs 38 lbs.
Back to #1, and repeat.
Everyone got in 2 full rounds and started on a 3rd. Then we did an indian run back to COT for…

MARY: A little less than 2 minutes worth.
