Here is a good article from a Toronto based trainer ( Craig Ballantyne ) talking to the Maples Leafs Conditioning Coach. Look for the questions......

- What about for the younger player, aged 14-18?

Also, this is something from Ballantyne that may give you some food for thought in helping you develop a workout plan suited to hockey.......



Also, talk to your parents and see if they will buy this paperback book for you - it's called " Complete Conditioning for Hockey " by Peter Twist. Twist was the Conditioning Coach of the Vancouver Canucks for 10 years. A great book !

But remember, at 14 you are still growing. Dont try too much too fast, you could seriously hurt yourself for the future.

Not sure if you're playing AAA hockey or not, but I suspect you're playing at least 2 games a week and practicing at least twice a week as well.

So, if speed is your primary concern, pick 3-4 of the speed, agility quickness drills and do 2 - 4 sets of those 2 X a week on the days when you're not on the ice.

Trust me - at 14, you can train hard for hockey and not hurt your future.

Look at John Tavares. He made the OHL at 14 - all while training hard during his early teens.
 
my friend had the exact same worry, he is 5 10 weighed about that and he plays hockey and wanted to hit people, so he got quickmass and started to work out. Quickmass is like a protein drink but not as much protein, just more sugars, it has about 1000/+ calories per serving. But if you want a workoutplan you can go to Bodybuilding.com - The Future Of Bodybuilding! Huge Bodybuilding Site. and look at the muscle groups and find what parts you want to work out. Work out at least 3 muscle groups in a day. With at least 2 sets, with at least 8 reps since you're new.
