ON THE HORIZON

Off-Season Training in Full Swing

The ice may have melted, but the work never stops for Team USA!

With the 2025-2026 season marking an Olympic year, our athletes have already transitioned to intensive off-season training programs focused on strength development, explosive power, and technical refinements.

Athletes are splitting time between home gyms and the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid, with specialized camps planned throughout summer to hone specific skills before returning to ice in the fall.
