“I found the programme to be of great benefit. The classroom sessions were very informative, and the chance to discuss amongst others was great reinforcement. The fitness sessions were vigorous and challenging, and the coaches were very knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging. Everybody gave it their all. I’ve told a number of guys about the programme and hope they get an opportunity to join in the future. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience. This 61 year old accomplished things I didn’t think possible at my age.”

“All the exercises themselves are not equipment intensive or anything and everybody can walk away on their own and in the privacy of their own home, their back yard, their garage, whatever, they can do the majority of the things we do here [in the Hockey FIT program].”

“When asked about the reasons for joining the program: “I think it’s very structured and it’s geared to a group of guys that are interested in hockey in a certain age category, so there’s a connection and that’s been very helpful.”
