wednesday- baseball or sprints
thursday- same as tuesday

Try some of these...

wall sits - 2 sets of as long as u can
one legged squats - 3 sets of 10 (no weight)
box jumps - 3 sets of 10
single legged glutes bridge - 3 sets of 10
jump rope - 2 sets of 100
body squats (exploding up as fast as u
can) - 3 sets of 10
frog jumps - 1 set of 20
then some sprinting.

Focus mostly on legs cardio and plyometrics then upper body. Coaches look for the hardest workers in a tryout, not most talented. stick with it and you should be good bro.

I like C Gillem's program. Dead on with legs, cardio and pylos. I'd advise that your cardio should be High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). HIIT is relative cardio to hockey shifts, it always seemed to help me. Let me know what works for you!

Back in my training camp days box jumps, skipping rope, suicide runs were all part of it. Consider doing some bosu ball (Half bar) or yoga ball balancing work as well. Try squatting just the bar or a bit of weight on a bosu ball infront of a mirror. Helps for stability and taking / giving checks I found (solid footing).

Also did some balancing board work while stick handling. Something about working the little muscles in the legs and back revolving around balance helped. I wouldn't spend ages on it or anything... just warm up for squats on in and stuff.. Any little bit helps.

(my hockey camps were Canadian Hockey Enterprises camps ... my instructors included Mike Fisher and Corey Perry (many years ago))... they know their sh*t.

One thing I and everyone else has neglected to advise you on is lateral exercises. All exercises recommended are for linear movements but lateral explosive power is so vital in hockey. Take a look at this video. Jon Chaimberg can explain it better than I can. http://bit.ly/Mu9ITS. Also, FitCameron's advice to improve your balance is extremely vital as well!

Hope tryouts are successful man! All the best!

Try to focus on full body compound movements for your lifts. Things like power cleans, squats, deadlifts, etc. Also try to work in single leg variations. Single leg strength, power, and balance are so important in hockey. Rear foot elevated split squats (RFESS) are fantastic. Good luck!
