Sports Nutrition

Eating healthy is one thing but eating to become an elite athlete/hockey player is totally different. Nutritional needs you should remember:

•Need a diet rich in complex carbohydrates, these are know as starches. Good sources of these types of foods include; pasta, breads, cereals, potatoes, corn, and peas.
•Need to stay away from fried foods such as french fries, bacon, potato chips, and chicken wings.
•You must also drink enough fluids and don’t wait until you are thirsty to do that. This means you should drink 2 and half cups of water 1 to 2 hours before your game or practice. Stay away from pop.
•You should also drink 1 glass of water 15mins before your game or practice.
•After your game and between periods you need to restore the fluids you’ve lost by eating fruits, juices drinks, or have high carbohydrated drinks such as power aid or gator aid.
•Avoid fast foods between games (McDonalds, Harvey’s, Wendy’s etc) as most foods from these places contain lots of fats and take too long to digest.


Snacks Between Games

•Fruit snacks
•Bananas
•Fruit that is peeled & cut up (digest quicker)
•Rice cakes with honey or jam
•Jam or honey sandwiches
•Power bars
