You should always include some form of high power output movements such as jumps or medicine ball throws

The answer to this is quite complex, as speed is a physical quality an athlete gains through a variety of proxy measurements, the most relevant for hockey players including:

– Genetics
– Training age
– Warm up type
– Mobility
– Strength training
– Relative strength
– Structural balance
– Stride length vs. Stride frequency
