My little brother plays hockey, but he is a little small. I want to make him a workout where he can gain strength and become an even quicker skater. I was thinking giving him a hiit workout, but I'm unsure. What workout would work best for him? Thanks!

What's wrong with his idea? He'd benefit the most from that more than likely. If you want to be a good hockey player you need to be strong. Not just "toned" or "big"
JeromeWeinberg, I thought it went like this? Was that somebody's variation?
A day
3x5 back squat
3x5 barbell bench press
1x5 deadlift
2x8 chin ups
B day
3x5 back squats
3x5 standing overhead press
1x5 deadlift
2x8 dips

Yes, it would be for gaining strength. He'll be fine. I did stupid workouts when I was younger and went nowhere. Then I actually followed a program set up by somebody who knows a LOT about the human body and especially muscular physiology and hypertrophy. I followed RSS and my strength and size went through the roof. Just make sure he's doing the exercises with proper form and he won't have any problems. Don't try to set him up on something like an unmodified version of PHAT or something with high, high volume. It's hard for me sometimes and he especially won't get far doing a ton of volume at his age.

If you want him to be fast/explosive/strong etc get him onto a plyometric routine. A plyometric routine would be more beneficial for him with hockey. Will edit this in a few minutes and post a example routine
bro just get your brother to type in youtube "Plyometric Hockey training" there are so many videos of example routines and exercises etc which are actually demonstrated by some elite hockey players. but things like squats, box jumps, clean and jerks etc.
But best thing to do is just search it in youtube.Last edited by CawkBrah; 11-12-2011 at 10:22 PM.

If you don't want him on teh weights heres a bodyweight routine:
Pistol squats (progress into them)
Pullups
Dips, proper dips (parallel bars) not bench dips
Inverted rows
Pushups
Plank variations
Calf raises
Repeat in circuit fashion 1 or 2 more times. Don't skip any of the exercises. Do dis liek thrice a week
