Coming In Hot with Wallace, York & Nichols

Guest Matt Nichol

Ep. 574

Guest: Matt Nichol


Matt Nichol the Ottawa Senators Director of Player Health and Performance joins the show


With training camp approaching, what are NHL players doing right now to make sure they're ready for another grind? Matt takes us inside the world of off-season training — how programs are built for individual players, what teams are looking for when players report to camp, injury prevention, recovery and how training has evolved over the years.


We'll also discuss Matt's long relationship with former Senators goaltender Ray Emery, the impact Ray had on his life and why Matt continues to honour his late friend through the annual Ray Emery Cup.


Plus, plenty more from one of the most respected performance coaches in hockey.
