Melissa led several nutritional workshops for my U15 Ottawa Jr. 67’s AAA hockey team. The information was well organized and presented in a clear manner so that 14- and 15-year-olds were able to process and implement it into their respective routines. As the season progressed, we clearly witnessed players incorporating what they learned into their eating habits. Thanks so much, Melissa, for your time, effort, and patience.

have questions? I've got answers!

Who is the Hockey Nutrition Blueprint for?

This course is designed for teen hockey players (and their parents) who want to fuel smarter, recover faster, and elevate their performance on and off the ice.

What if my teen’s team already had a nutrition workshop?

A single workshop can’t provide the depth or ongoing support this course offers. The Hockey Nutrition Blueprint dives deeper into meal timing, recovery, and personalized strategies that go beyond a one-hour session.

Our strength and conditioning coach already gives nutrition advice—how is this different?

While strength and conditioning coaches are great at what they do, this course is led by a certified holistic nutritionist with expertise in hockey-specific nutrition. It’s designed to provide comprehensive, science-backed guidance tailored to your teen’s needs.

Why should I invest in this course when I can just Google nutrition tips?

Google provides general advice, but this course is tailored specifically to the unique demands of hockey players. It’s a step-by-step guide that takes the guesswork out of fuelling for performance, recovery, and long-term success—saving you time and frustration.

What if my teen already eats pretty well?

Even if your teen has a solid foundation, this course will help them fine-tune their nutrition, address specific performance needs, and gain a competitive edge. Sometimes, what we think of as “healthy eating” can be influenced by diet culture, which doesn’t always align with what a hockey player needs to fuel their performance. I’ve yet to meet an athlete who consistently meets all their nutritional needs without expert guidance—and that’s exactly what this course provides.

What if my teen plays other sports besides hockey?

The core principles of this course apply to all team sports, making it a valuable resource for multi-sport athletes.

Will this course cover supplements?

Yes, there’s an entire bonus dedicated to helping you navigate supplements—what’s useful, what’s not, and how to choose the right ones safely.

READY TO HELP YOUR TEEN FUEL SMARTER SO THEY CAN DOMINATE EVERY SHIFT ON THE ICE?

Are You Ready To:

 

    • Help your teen fuel smarter and stay energized for every shift?
    • Watch them recover faster and bounce back stronger after games?
    • Support their long-term performance with proven nutrition strategies?
    • Give them the tools to gain a competitive edge on the ice?

Smart Nutrition is the Key to Their Success

(BUT YOU KNOW THAT.)

  • You’re committed to helping your teen thrive, not just in hockey but in life, with habits that will serve them for years to come.

 

  • You’re proud of their dedication on the ice, and you want to match that by giving them every possible advantage.

 

  • You believe in setting them up for success, knowing that even small changes can lead to big wins.

I gave everything to hockey...but fell short when it mattered most.

As someone who lived and breathed hockey, I know firsthand how much nutrition impacts performance—and how much it hurts when you’re held back by what you don’t know.

I was drafted to the Canadian Women’s Hockey League, but recurring injuries and inadequate recovery meant I couldn’t train at my full capacity. I wasn’t prepared when it mattered most, and I didn’t make the final roster.

Later, I lost eight years of playing due to post-concussion syndrome. During that time, I learned the hard way just how important nutrition is—not only for performance but for recovery and overall health. Those eight years set me back lightyears behind my peers, and I could never compete at the same level again.

I created the Hockey Nutrition Blueprint to make sure no young hockey player has to go through what I did. This course is for parents who want to give their teens the tools to thrive and for athletes who are ready to unlock their potential with science-backed strategies that work.

If you’ve been searching for a way to help your teen fuel smarter, perform stronger, and recover better, you’re in the right place. Let’s make sure your athlete is prepared for every challenge that comes their way—on and off the ice. 💪

I’ve taken what I’ve learned and created a step-by-step course to help hockey families fuel smarter, boost performance, and support recovery, so your teen can play stronger and stay healthy and competitive for years to come.
