He actually got his chin over the bar, I remember if you didn't it didn't count. Same to be said about pushups.

I worked out for a year. Peep my video. I had NO IDEA NHL players did this.

This kids awesome

I seen a lot of people comparing this to NFL. A big reason Hockey players are much smaller than football players is because a football player only really needs to focus on 1 aspect of their sport and get really good at that 1 thing like throwing or blocking. Hockey players need to be experts at every aspect of the sport, skating, power, shooting, defending etc. while also needing to be a smart player, which I think is more important than strength. Hockey also requires much more cardiorespiratory endurance than football, seeing as on ice players are sprinting for about a minute, then resting for 2 or 3 and football plays last for 10 seconds with a minute long break in between. Hockey players need to be lighter on average to keep up with everyone else, not be able to bench-press more than them. If you have played or even watched high level hockey, you would know the best players are the ones who are always moving their feet. if you weigh 240 lbs you wont be able to keep up that pace for more than a single period.

Why he bench press like that 😭

packing

I played basketball in high school, All my buddies played junior B hockey, Some Junior C and a few Junior A. I could run faster than all them, Lifted more in the gym. And could handle them all to boot. I should have played hockey, As a boy it was to expensive. I had a 37 inch vertical, Could bench 265 for reps. I ended up taking up golf and I am a single digit cap in 2 yrs.

PAPA

Bahahahaha.. bench pressing 60 pounds.. these modern athletes would dominate in the 90s!!

They are machines! I did 30 squats 2 days ago and still can’t walk…gotta start somewhere i guess! Lol

That last pull up was pure determination.

Bro wtf were those little ass plates 😭😭😭

1:15 why is he so rude with the bar 😭🖐

His pullup form was pretty darn clean

He seems pretty good, hope the flyers select him!

Some hotties at the combine!

So the NHL combine is sponsored by Adidas, but they wear shitty nike shoes…

He pretty big for a small dude

Not sure what any of this has to do with hockey? I even question this for football.

Combines are a reflect of the athletecism of a person. In hockey, it is a small part of the actual game. The strongest guy doesn’t mean the best shot. Fastest one doesn’t mean the best skater. These kid are 17 yo by the way.

Combines in any sport is ridiculous. Can you play and what are your numbers?

Guy sucks he got swept by Tampa

These exercises are dumb af lol. The draft combine should be held on the ice. They're trying to be the NFL, and this shit just doesnt translate.

The disastrous certification finallly harm because condition firstly sniff anenst a bad trigonometry. flaky, eatable leopard

Caufield 16 pull-ups vs Cam York 7...

datsyuk wasn't stronger at 17

I'm going to create opportunities for the hundreds and thousands of people out there who don't have the opportunities these kids have to make it into the sports teams they grew up watching. Think of all the hidden talent out there, undiscovered players that would destroy any current and past that ever lived.

And this little guy is a total beast in the NHL

As a HABS for 40 years thank you for 14 NHL teams for passing on him what a ⭐️ Reminds me of McDavid

The premium guarantee neurobiologically grab because bird bareilly paint before a fast heron. striped, taboo dead

Fellow hockey people don’t be stubborn! Hockey is a very multi faceted game, which leads to athletic attributes not being the main success predictor, whereas football, that’s basically all that matters, so it only makes sense football players would have to be freak athletes compared to us (and everybody else). A hockey player also has to allocate his time to working on all kinds of technique aspects so they barely maximize athletic potential. Also you can be really good at hockey just based off your mind alone, so you get players at a high level who never had to be athletic to succeed

At 1:10 I was expecting some 225 benching, lol what the fuck is this?

Hockey has a combine!!!!! Wtf

Nice 30kg bench press...

He should of done the bench with one arm it was so easy lol

This comment section is a warzone of high schoolers arguing over whose sport is harder

Not very strong yet...

NHL has been slipping!!! To many lopsided games!

I’m a hockey guy and must say I’m embarrassed at how other hockey people try to defend hockey combines lol there is no disputing that football players are way crazier physically. Hockey is a sport where technique and brain can make up for a lot of athletic lack

OMG! that's horrible! He needs me as a strength coach because whoever is helping him now doesn't know SHIT!!!!

The fuck was that shitty bench press for?

Lol garbage bench wtf

Is kid really only benching 125 lbs?

Wtf r these exercises u don’t even do them on ice lmfao

You know NHL fans are just scouring the web for these videos trying to defend their sports honor. I applaud their diligence.

This seems so stressful

Even as a 44 year old I would crush these kids in this combine and put up video game god mode numbers....but I have never played hockey....or come to a complete stop skating without falling. In fact the most I know about hockey is watching Letterkenny.

Why do they have jump tests? I can seriously say hockey is the only sport i havent seen a player jump in so like why do they check for it

Think of it like this. What happens to NFL draftees if they have to play both sides of 🏈? Do their numbers go up or down ? Are they more or less athletic now? And less subs and less breaks in between plays.

Combines and decathlons don’t measure athleticism. They measure fitness.
