Current Research

  1. Longitudinal Changes in Off-Ice Fitness, On-Ice Fitness, and Skating Performance: Effect of a career of Canadian Women's University Hockey on: cardiovascular endurance, muscle strength/endurance, power, on-ice anaerobic capacity, and skating acceleration, speed, and agility.

  2. Lactate Responses of Women's University Hockey Players: Effect of one, two, and three seasons of play on lactate (lactic acid) production during a repeat sprint skate test, recovery after a sprint skate test, and comparison between pre, mid, and post-season testing.

  3. Predictors of Skating Performance in Women's University Hockey Players: What off-ice fitness variables (cardiovascular endurance - 20-meter Shuttle Run, vertical jump, push-ups/minute, curl-ups/minute) predict skating acceleration, speed, and agility?

  4. Anthropometry and Somatotyping of Canadian University Female Hockey Players. Collaborative work with Tina Geithner, Gonzaga University, Spokane, WA.

  5. U.S. National Deaf Hockey Team: Longitudinal Changes in the Physical Performance Characteristics of the U.S. National Deaf Hockey Team. Collaborative work with Kanella Diakoumis, American Hearing Impaired Hockey Association.
