Congratualtions to Kenndal McArdle (see the video here) of the Florida Panthers who scored his 1st NHL goal on Saturday night! The Panthers were playing the Toronto Maple Leafs on Hockey Night in Canada and leading 1-0 with a little over 6 minutes remaining when Kenndal scored on a hard wrist shot off a two on one. It was the insurance marker in a 2-0 win for Florida.
Today we had a Powered by Chocolate Milk video shoot where we filmed six 60 sec fitness tips. GWA has signed a deal with the BC Dairy Foundation to be the official strength and conditioning experts for their campaign to promote Chocolate Milk as a recovery drink. We have written a number of informative fitness articles to be put up on their site (with the videos) in the coming days! Click on Health and Training. Also, look for us in media and advertising campaigns soon. We have some Chocolate Milk coming to the gym soon for all our clients to have….post workout of course!! Photos below:

Exercise intensity is extremely important when you are working on your conditioning drills, and is possibly the most important variable in determining the quality of an exercise session. When performing interval training, training for endurance sports, measuring recovery time, or comparing the same run from a previous week a heart rate monitor is a very useful tool. The correct use of a heart rate monitor can allow you to accurately regulate your exercise session and maximize your training efficiency.

I am up in Whitehorse this weekend in our first games of the 2009-10 season. This years Allan Cup Championship is in Fort St John in April and we are in the process of recruiting a team to make our first run at it since the 2006 win. We have a number of new ex-pro’s this year including some guys with NHL experience mixed with a vetran squad and the best goalie in Canada. Follow along anytime at our website Powel River Regals.
A number of Groundwork Athletics staff participated in a few different events this passed weekend. Alan Winterflood and Warren Hatch competed in the Fall Classic run at UBC on Sunday. Warren was competing in the 5k while Alan competed in the 10k.
Shannon Woeller, who plays soccer for Rutgers University and our Canadian Womens National Team, begins a quest for the NCAA title next weekend. Rutgers finished the season ranked #9 in the country and although they have injuries to 5 starters are confident they have a shot. Good luck Shannon
