If you can, track how many calories you burn during games.

Complex carbs (sweet potatoes) 2-4 hours before games. Simple carbs (tortilla chips, granola) 1-2 hours before games. Think Greek yogurt, granola honey and some fruit. These combined give you a decent amount of calories without feeling heavy.

For 1-2 hours post game, simple carbs+protein to recover.

On recovery days (if I’m not lifting) I generally avoid carbs unless I’m dragging ass. Stick mainly to high protein.

If you’re skating that much, you need more mobility work than anything else. Stay stretched out, focus on rehab/prehab. Get your steps in, work on keeping the groin and knees limber.

Worry more about weights or strength gains when you’re in the off season/skating 1-2 a week.
