Take Your Game to the Next Level with Recovery

Recovery is how training becomes results. You can lift heavy, practice hard, eat clean, and stay consistent—but without proper recovery we can’t make progress. Recovery isn’t passive. It’s an active, intentional part of performance that allows your body and mind to adapt, rebuild, and come back stronger. Recovery is about more than rest days. It’s about creating habits that help athletes stay #rinkready.

1) ReFUEL

Proper nutrition is foundational to recovery. After training, your body is primed to rebuild and replenish.

Protein provides the building blocks your muscles need to repair and grow, supporting strength and resilience over time. Carbohydrates restore glycogen, your body’s primary energy source, helping you maintain endurance, intensity, and consistency across training sessions and competition.

Recovery starts with what you put on your plate.

2) ReHYDRATE

Water plays a critical role in regulating body temperature, transporting nutrients and oxygen, and removing waste from the body. Electrolytes—such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium—help balance fluids, support muscle function, and prevent cramping, fatigue, and headaches.

If you’re feeling flat, sore, or unfocused, hydration is often the first place to look.

3) RePAIR

Light movement such as mobility work, walking, foam rolling, and stretching helps increase blood flow and flush metabolic waste. Pairing these with breath work, contrast therapies, soft tissue work, or compression can reduce soreness, speed up muscle repair, and prevent stiffness and injury.

Active recovery leads to faster results.

4) ReSET

If you don’t reset, you’ll repeat.

Recovery isn’t just physical. Elite athletes prioritize the mental side of recovery to regain clarity and control. Resetting your mindset allows you to process training, competition, and life stress without carrying it into your next session. This might look like journaling, praying, reflecting, or visualizing.

The goal is to slow down, refocus, and mentally prepare to show up better tomorrow.

5) ReCHARGE

Sleep is your superpower.

Quality sleep drives muscle repair, hormone regulation, energy restoration, reduced inflammation, sharper focus, and faster reaction times. It’s one of the most powerful recovery tools available—and one of the most overlooked.

You can’t out-train poor sleep. Recovery happens when you rest well.

Refuel.
Rehydrate.
Repair.
Reset.
Recharge.

Your body can only perform as well as it recovers. When recovery becomes a non-negotiable part of your routine, performance follows—on the ice, in the gym, and in life.
