Do what NHL officials do, pal-- which we do. Two different seasons, two different regimens. We take a month off in between them. Some athletes think of it as cross-training.

Hardi, for example, is on indoor equipment and for-real cross-country skiing supplemented but the rigors of snow removal, in one season. In the other one he's on the road bike and lifting at home, plus summer camping rigors.

My one season is aquatics indoors and the other is aquatics outdoors-- two completely different types of exercise in each environment.

You, hockey-aerobics one season plus a little weights, and the other season flip them around?

Or hockey winter, softball league summer?
