Confirmed with Link: Habs Hire Adam Douglas As Director of Sports Science and Performance

[MXD]

I don't want to insult anyone, and I don't want slag Adam Douglas, but York University is not prestigious.

Well... His thesis pertained heavily to hockey. Didn't make much sense to go to Oxford.

 

[tazsub3]

Seriously?
I mean... we're talking about a guy who is about as likely to speak to the press as I am.

sadly yes and they chose to ignore the fact the previous guy left on his own... sad

[Skip Bayless]

I was more interested in his specialization. I'm not even sure what it is but it isn't English Lit. Here's a link to one of his papers. Interesting stuff.

On-Ice Measures of External Load in Relation to Match Outcome in Elite Female Ice Hockey

 

[Adam Michaels]

Adam completed his PhD from York University where he studied on-ice player monitoring in elite ice hockey players. Talk about specialized. Along with his other credentials and degrees, an impressive hire.

I did?

Depends on the program.

No posters said that. Thé article was clear he left for a coaching gig . Yet they made it team don’t want french guys . Go read it , it’s nauseating .

I'm not familiar with this job. Let's say he is an amazing hire, what kind of impact can he have? Will it mostly be felt on younger players so it kinda improve our development department?

Nutrition is a massive deal and a field with an awful lot of misinformation. There are so much fad diets going around it's insane. Having a an actual professional to give advice to the players on what they should eat for maximum performance is absolutely paramount. This would help on energy level and consistency to the on-ice performances

He could create workout programs tailored to each players' needs so they can reach their potential, prevent injuries and maintain their current level as much as possible

I feel there are a lot of snake oil salesmen in hockey, he could help the players and management to avoid getting scammed

I don't think there was a problem with Allard to begin with. So having a new guy doing more or less the same job as the old one isn't going to change much in the end.

yes yet some idiots on rds.ca complain he dont speak french....lol

You must say it as it is ; The way you put this comment seems to accuse RDS reporters/journalists .

In fact, it's only just coming from few fans in the comments/reactions . They could be from a 100 years old person or from 10 years old kid. Who the f*** cares about them and their comments ?

 

[Kimota]

The way he looks at that chick in the picture. lol

No it is not accusing, but can be misunderstood.
I corrected it .

So long and thanks for all the fish.

Ohh wait not Douglas Adams
