Elite Athletics Aus

1st round pick. 193 NHL games. Two league titles overseas.
The one and only Simon Després has accomplished so much at EVERY level.
It’s an honour to take him through and Cal Dietz’ framework and science backed performance programs built for the highest levels of the game
He is proof hockey careers are built on consistency 🫡 👑
We’re excited to see him flex his skill in the ECHL 🏒

Amidst the Ice Hockey Classic tour we were fortunate to have Luke Croucher (Team Canada / FPHL) and Jeff Solow (Team USA / ECHL) stop by at Elite Athletics to take them through a TONY GRECO and Cal Dietz Cal Dietz session priming athletes for on-ice performance and strength through all three phases of movement — eccentric (deceleration), isometric (transition), and concentric (explosive drive).
On ice, athletes are constantly decelerating out of strides, stabilizing through edges and contact, and firing explosively into the next push — so training that mirrors this sequence builds the specific control and power transfer skating demands, not just generic strength. The result is athletes who can absorb, stabilize, and explode more efficiently, translating directly to first-step speed, edge control, and repeat-power output across a shift.

The 2026 Ice Hockey Classic Tours showcased incredible talent, if this is the standard now, imagine 2027 💪🏼💥

If you’re just “working out,” you’re guessing.
If you’re training, you’re building.
To reach an elite level, you have to stop viewing your body as a collection of parts and start seeing it as one unified, high-tension system.
A systematic training program is the blueprint that forces these systems to talk to each other:

There are Three systems:
1. CNS (The Driver): You need a program that trains intent and speed, ensuring your brain fires signals without hesitation.

2. Muscles (The Engine): You need to manipulate intensity and tempo to build structural force, not just fatigue.

3. Fascia (The Transmission): You need a plan that builds stiffness and elasticity so you don’t leak power.

A random workout reinforces bad habits, but a systematic program insulates neural pathways, making your movement faster, more efficient, and surgical.
Stop chasing numbers on the bar and start chasing the perfection of the movement.
If it isn’t systematic, it isn’t elite. 💪🏼

is always putting in the work, with real results! All the best in Canada, keep up the good progress 👊🏼

Game 2 of the 2026 Ice Hockey Classic saw the series tie with Team USA beating Team Canada 10-4! Who’s taking out the 4th of July Game 3 and lifting the IHC Tasmanian Cup?! 🇨🇦🇺🇸🏒

Canada visits. EA delivers. 🇨🇦🔥
Great having our good friend Dr Josh Walt visit from Canada and put in the work at EA 💪🏼

Another strong Monday in the books. The commitment these young Wolves bring to every session is what separates the good from the great. Showing up, putting in the work, and getting better every week — that’s the standard we’re building here.
🐺 💪🏼

We loved seeing the passion and excitement from the at our 1st weekly on ice development session yesterday where we focused on skills, hockey IQ and power skating - the exact energy we want to build on!
A great start in preparation for their season ahead 🐺🏒💪🏼
