LBX offers on ice training for all skill levels & off ice strength training.

04/15/2026

Going to try and get into some more off season, in season, nutrition, workouts, coaching advice here soon. Won’t happen till I’m done traveling and that’s not happening till June so bare with me.
#
Biggest mistake a lot of players make in the off season is focus way too much on “on ice” training and not enough emphasis on strength training and nutrition. In season your energy expenditure is through the roof, I get it keep weight on and gaining weight is hard. So cut the energy expenditure down 50% and increase your caloric intake. Do it consistently and over a course of 4 months, you’ll gain weight.
#
I don’t know what to eat, I don’t like that food, this food, end of the day. Either make excuses or find a way. Sometimes you’re going to have to eat and not enjoy it, welcome to life. Here’s a simple easy 750 calorie to go snack.
100 grams of oats
85 grams banana
40 grams honey
27 grams protein powder
Estimated around 110 carbs, 38 protein, 15 fat. Perfect pre skate or pre workout snack (1-1.5 hour pre activity) if you can’t eat 3500-4000 calories a day, god bless.

THANK YOU!

These last 5 years have been unforgettable, so many memories made, relationships created and hours spent doing what I love. I cannot say enough Thank Yous to all the families who have supported me and LBX throughout the years. The doors are officially closed on LBX to offer summer 2026 on ice skill sessions. We hope to come back and run a camp at some point but for now, it’s a see you later not a good bye!

Coach JJ will be relocating to Minnesota to help David Lynee run his on ice / off ice training company.

Training is the most important aspect of your sport. Why work all summer to lose all progress and momentum during the season? Stay ready. Stay Strong. Separate yourself from the competition.

To celebrate 5-years serving the DSM, Metro area I feel as if a great celebration and THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me throughout the years offering a FREE skate was a great idea.

I started running LBX in Ames so it’s only fitting to do a skate there! When I first started LBX it was with the sole intention to give back and help youth hockey players in this area. Be present for them, push them, give honest feedback, no special coaching and no politics just raw, 100% authenticity every session to ensure each player walks away from a summer learning something and growing their love for the game.

If you’re interested in skating please sign up at the link below. This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in LBX for next summer and wants to try it out! Skate is open to 2016-2011 skaters. Limited to 25 skaters.

White wins 6-5 in a shootout. Goaltender Zach Lunders wins player of the game for a stellar performance and 3 great shootout saves. And only a 2010 birth year!
