Program Overview
1. On June 1st the program begins.
2. A customized workout for each age group will be emailed to all registered participants. Workouts will start very basic for the younger age groups and become more challenging for the older age groups. Workouts will include agility drills, off-ice stickhandling drills, off-ice shooting drills, plyometric drills, speed drills, and body weight strength and balance drills. Weightlifting will be introduced to the Bantam level and Midget level. We do not condone ANY player using weights until they first consult with a certified personal trainer to be sure that you are ready to begin lifting weights and understand the proper technique of each exercise. Lifting weights before your body is ready or with improper technique can cause serious damage or injury that could affect you for the rest of your life. Even if you have lifted weights before it is very likely you have been performing some or all of the lifts with improper technique unless you have been working with a certified strength trainer.
3. The focus of our program will be developing skills through off-ice drills, athleticism through agility and quickness drills, and power through plyometric drills. These are the three most important attributes of any successful hockey player.

How The Dedication Team Works
1. The Off-Season Program will run through June, July and August. An In-Season Program from September - April will be separate and each player will have an opportunity to register for that program in July.
2. Starting May 31st an monthly workout will be emailed to each registered player. This will continue each month until the end of the Off-Season Program on August 31st. So three workouts will be emailed out total, one on May 31st for June, one on June 30th for July, and one on July 31st for August.
3. There will be a total of 80 workout days throughout the 3 months. There will be no workouts on any Sunday's but one.
4. After you complete an ENTIRE workout for a the day, you can fill in all of the blank spaces stating you completed each exercise. At the end of the month both the player and the parent must sign the workout and mail it into Ultimate Hockey. All of the days you completed the ENTIRE workout for that month will be tallied. Players repeat this process each month. We must receive your workout by the 15th of the following month or it will not count towards your total.

The Ultimate Hockey DEDICATION TEAM
1. There will be 80 workouts total. The top 25 players who complete the most workouts throughout the Off-Season program will become part of the 2007/2008 Ultimate Hockey DEDICATION TEAM and will receive a DEDICATION TEAM t-shirt.
2. Any player completing 60 workouts or more but not making it to the top 25 will be in our PLATINUM CLUB
3. Any player completing 40 workouts or more will be in our GOLD CLUB
4. Any player completing 20 workouts or more will be in our SILVER CLUB
5. THERE ARE NO LOSERS! Even if a player just completes 1 day's workout it is better than nothing.
6. All DEDICATION TEAM, Platinum, Gold, and silver members will be listed on the Dedication Team link under Training at www.ultimatehockeyinc.com .

The HONOR SYSTEM
1. Obviously, we can't be there to monitor your workouts. This program is based on the honor system.
2. If you decide to cheat and say you completed an entire workout when you didn't, even if you just skipped one exercise, you are only cheating yourself.
3. Honesty is a very important aspect of this program. We have designed this program to assist hockey players with reaching their HIGHEST hockey goals. If you didn't complete as many workouts as you would have liked, you will always be able to really get after it during the In-Season Program or next summer for the 2008/2009 Off-Season Program.

1. Although we are running this program at no charge. It will cost us quite a bit of money and time. We would be very happy if any individuals or companies would be interested in sponsoring the DEDICATION TEAM program. We can list sponsors on each workout program, on the DEDICATION TEAM webpage under Training and www.ultimatehockeyinc.com , and on all DEDICATION TEAM t-shirts. Please email dedicationteam@ultimatehockeyinc.com if you are interested becoming a sponsor.
2. A sponsorship is a great opportunity for positive exposure within the hockey community.
