CSF IS THE OFFICIAL TRAINING CENTER OF THE CATHEDRAL HIGH SCHOOL MEN'S HOCKEY TEAM

Off-ice training for hockey is a critical component for complete player development. Hockey players that are able to resist injury and recover more quickly in between games and practices have the best opportunity for continued success on the ice.

The ability for players to skate efficiently with speed and power depend heavily on posture and flexing at the knee. Many young players simply do not have enough strength to maintain adequate knee bend while skating. As fatigue sets in the players athletic position begins to deteriorate rapidly, thus diminishing their ability to execute on the ice as well as putting their bodies at additional risk for injury.

The expert coaches at Conca Sport and Fitness will assure that you will not only be a faster, stronger, and a more physical player, but also one who understands how to better fuel your body for improved energy and mental focus. In addition, you will also be able to network with some of the best coaches and players in the region.

Take a look at what some of our athletes have to say about thier experiences:

"Since I became Head Coach of the Cathedral Hockey Team, this was the first year that our players had an injury free season. I saw the difference in their strength, speed and physical play. The training at Conca's made a big difference and we will be back this summer."

- Brian Foley, Head Coach

“This was a great way to get in shape and get stronger. I gained muscle, got stronger, faster and in better shape, and had fun at the same time. When I got on the ice for pre-season hockey, the sprints and practices weren’t as hard as in the past. This training program has really helped my game a great deal.”

- Mickey Foley, Cathedral Hockey

“This training facility and program has improved both my physical fitness as well as my mental awareness of how eating and working out properly can positively effect the health of my body. I have learned how to eat like an athlete and workout using proper technique. Upon hitting the ice this Fall I felt in better shape and faster then I was at the end of last season. Thanks for all your help!”

- Josh Coon, Cathedral Hockey

“Training at Conca’s was an excellent experience. It made me a lot sronger on the field for lacrosse and on the ice for hockey.”

- Brandon Ashe, Longmeadow

“Conca Sport and Fitness has kept me in shape through the weeks while I was recovering from my injury. The coaching and training has vastly improved my strength and running for cross country as well as phjysically prepared me for the hockey season.”

-Sam Burke, Westfield

“This was a great way to get in shape for hockey. I trained 4 days per week this summer and I believe this will take my hockey to the next level.”

Jeff DeLoria, Cathedral Hockey

“I wanted to let you know how impressed I am with the program you have set up for the Cathedral hockey team. From the start the boys have grown not only as team mates but also as individuals. You and your staff have pushed them so they can take their game to the next level. They have worked very hard on all aspects of training with your staff and I have see first hand with my son how he has improved. To me the most important thing is, he has gained the confidence for the upcoming season because of the intense training he has received.”

“Thank You”- Donna Kozub

"Working this summer with Conca Sport and Fitness was exactly what I needed to prepare myself for success at the DIII college level. Coming in the Fall semester of school and workout phase of hockey, I feel that I am not only in the best shape of my life, but the healthiest. I have noticed that my fitness has improved greatly over the past three-four months, something that hopefully will be the edge amongst other goalies at the college level. I am forever appreciative of the strong habits taught by Conca Sport and Fitness for not only the fitness aspect, but the nutritional aspect as well. Whether you are in middle school, high school, or college, I feel very comfortable saying that I recommend the fitness training and philosophies of Conca Sport and Fitness, as they can and will raise your game to the next level if you are willing to put the wok in. I know this because I put forth the work needed and Iam now a better athlete than when I came in. I am excited and cant wait to get back out on the ice for games and see how far my training this summer has taken me, because I am sure the results will reflect the work.”
