In March, Brock Sports Performance delivered it’s first ever  BSP OHL Combine Prep Camp. The goal of the camp was to prepare local Minor Midget AAA hockey players for the off-ice performance assessments they would be exposed to at the 2018 OHL Combine in Mississauga, ON at the end of March. The OHL Combine consisted of an extensive battery of fitness tests to challenge all aspects of speed, agility, strength, power, and endurance. Some of these tests were: Vertical Jump, Broad Jump, Chin  Ups, 5-10-5 Agility, Resisted Sprints, 30s Wingate, and more. The Combine also included a significant on ice portion where players had their speed, agility, and puck skills tested as well as games played against each other. General managers, coaches, and scouts from each OHL team were present for the entire weekend to assess potential players to select in the midget draft.

The athletes participating in the BSP OHL Combine Prep Camp were introduced to all the tests and taught how to maximize their physical abilities in each one. They were also educated on strategies for nutrition, recovery, mindset, and attitude to excel in a high-pressure, high-intensity, and highly-competitive environment like a  two-day Combine.

BSP would like to congratulate the participants of the Prep Camp and other BSP  athletes on their strong results at the Combine and being drafted to the OHL. Great work!

“I’d like to thank you for your help in my preparation for the combine. I found your tips and tricks very useful and physically doing the drills before hand was a huge help. . . It was a great preparation day and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is participating in that combine.” – Ethan Sims
