I played the game for over a decade and many of those years at a competitive level. To this day, I still play, but only at a recreational level. I gave up chasing the dream many years ago to pursue an education in Exercise Science.

Shortly after giving up playing hockey competitively, I got involved in CrossFit style workouts, some heavy strength training, as well as still playing hockey 1-2x a week recreationally. With this combination, and already having over a decade of hockey experience under my belt, it was only a matter of time until something may have given out. In late 2013 I had developed some severe lower back pain after a poorly executed deadlift, and things were made worse while continuing to play hockey, as well as performing some ill-advised exercises afterwards. By January of 2014, I officially had an MRI showing an L5-S1 Disc Herniation (disc protrusion) and a mild amount of osteoarthrosis at all of my lumbar facet joints.

A little while after this I got involved in the field of strength & conditioning and did an internship with the Windsor Spitfires and Drive Performance organization. During this internship, I was working primarily with hockey players that ranged all the way from competitive minor league hockey to the NHL. Interestingly, during my time interning/working with the Windsor Spitfires and Drive Performance, one hockey player, in particular, had some severe low back discogenic issues (herniated disc at L4-L5 & L5-S1) and had surgery done to repair those issues.

While I was still going through my recovery at the time (doing my self-rehab) and was extensively learning about low back injuries, this was the first individual I had ever worked with that had some severe lower back problems. It was a very cool experience at first because I could relate to what this athlete may have been previously feeling before his surgery and what some of his current limitations were at the time. This made it easier for me to coach this athlete through exercises, as I knew what would potentially trigger and not trigger his lower back pain. In a sense, going through a similar injury to this athlete made me a better coach as I could specifically relate to what this athlete may be experiencing.

Now, rather than share my whole journey about my recovery and working with several individuals with low back issues, I want to talk about why so many hockey players may end up with low back problems from a lumbar disc herniation, as well as share some strategies for preventing this injury. While many different low back injuries may develop in hockey players, the most common and one of the most severe is the lumbar disc herniation. In this post today, I am going to dive deep into the lumbar disc herniation in hockey players.

Schroeder, McCarthy, Micev, Terry, and Hsu (2013) examined the performance scores (e.g., games played, goals, assists, points, even strength goals, power play goals) of a total of 87 NHL players between the years 1967-2009 who suffered a symptomatic lumbar disc herniation and their return to NHL action. Of these 87 NHL players, 31 underwent conservative treatment, and 56 underwent surgical treatment (48 with a discectomy: 8 with a single level fusion). 85% of these NHL players that underwent conservative treatment or surgical treatment were able to return to play, but the capacity to return was horrendous.

A poorly designed exercise program that may include exercises like sit-ups, deadlifts with poor technique, or any activity that may take the spine through a full range of motion (flexion) under load is a serious concern. As mentioned above, the mechanism for creating a disc herniation is repeated cycles of lumbar flexion under compressive load (Callaghan et al., 2001). Note: Flexion combined with twisting will make things significantly worse if added into the equation.

Avoiding exercises like sit-ups, barbell bent over rows, leg presses, and incorporating more spine sparing exercises (e.g., standing single arm cable row, bird-dogs), as well as core stability exercises (e.g., planking variations, suitcase carry), would be very important. Sit-ups, barbell bent over rows, and leg presses are examples of exercise that I believe are very high risk for hockey athletes to be performing. I would never prescribe these exercises to an athlete that is at risk for such lower back troubles or for anyone that currently has lower back issues. On the flip side, implementing more spine sparing exercises and core stability exercises would be very important in reducing the low back injury potential.

Do the right things in the weight room, and you may potentially add a few years to your career or even improve your performance on the ice. However, do the wrong things in the weight room, and your career could be cut short due to a severe lower back injury. This is why strength & conditioning coaches exist.

As a hockey player, working out later in the morning or afternoon may be a wise option. The bending stresses on the lumbar spine are about 3x higher in the early morning (first 1-2 hours) when compared to later in the day (Adams, Dolan & Hutton, 1987). Our spinal discs are like fluid-filled balloons ready to pop in the morning, which creates more annular tension and a stiffer spine.

Question: What are some good movements to workout your legs that are not the leg press? My injury occurred due to squatting (repetitive posterior tilting) so I would have thought that the leg press would be a good option.

"Question: What are some good movements to workout your legs that are not the leg press? My injury occurred due to squatting (repetitive posterior tilting) so I would have thought that the leg press would be a good option."

Depends on the individual. For someone with a classic posterior lumbar disc herniation, exercise like glute brdiges, barbell hip thrusts, clamshells, side lying hip abduction, hamstring curls would all be pretty safe options for the most part. However, for someone that has say an SI joint issue, single leg exercises such as bulgarian split squats or lunges would be a "no-no". All in all though it really depends on the individual as each person is different in what they can and cannot potentially do (e.g., movement limitations, pain symptoms, severity of pain symptoms, strength, etc).

Thanks for the reply. I went on vacation in Florida last week, was able to play some golf with my wife and read Back Mechanic by Stuart McGill. I am trying to follow his advice and am going through the self evaluation process.

If I were to avail myself of your services would the coaching be the best option?

Great work on your blog post! I found the information you shared to be insightful and applicable. I appreciated the additional resources you provided, which allowed me to further expand my understanding. To learn more about this subject,

What could be the reasons for a new car CD player (has the markings: RDS, MP3 and CompactDisc) not to play MP3 files from a CD, that normally is read on every computer or so? The plaser in the car reads audio CDs without problems.

I've tried recording the MP3s on two different brands of CDs, and with two different speeds (16x and 24x; for some reason I cannot get it to record at lower speeds although they are offered in options, it just defaults back to 16x).

Also (from the PC side), ensure you're fully closing the CD/session when done writing, most stand-alone CD players I've run into over the years (auto or otherwise) don't like unclosed/multi-session CDs.

A data CD containing for example MP3 or WAV files will play happily on your computer but is unlikely to play in a standalone CD player or in-car CD player (note that some modern CD players will play data CDs). An audio CD will play on any standalone or in-car CD player and in your computer and in modern DVD players.

I just burned a playlist to a fresh CD. It plays fine on my computer, but my home CD player doesn't recognize it. When I put the disc in I get the message "no disc". Any ideas? It was burned from CD songs, not mp3's.
