May 14, 2015 – It’s always a nice feeling to get back on the ice after some time off. A lot of people ask me when is a good time to get back on the ice after season? Or how much time do I normally take off? The time I take off from skating varies from season to season. I only start skating when I feel the urge to get back on my skates and am ready to work towards my goals for next year.
I am a firm believer that it is important to physiologically rest but it is equally important to take a psychological break from hockey. Allowing yourself to take a mental break will allow you to come back completely refreshed and ready to work hard in the off season, both on and off the ice.
