Personalized Nutrition Coaching for Hockey Players
Transform Your Athlete’s Performance with Personalized Nutrition Coaching
Fuel Their Best Season Yet with Expert, Ongoing Nutrition Guidance
The Missing Piece in Your Athlete’s Training
You’ve invested in skating lessons, extra coaching, and off-ice training — but something still feels off.
Your teen works hard, yet their energy dips mid-game. Recovery takes longer than it should. Some days, they struggle to stay focused or motivated.
That’s not a training problem. It’s a fuelling problem.
Most teen hockey players eat well enough to get by, but not strategically enough to perform their best. Proper fuelling can be the difference between a player who fades by the third period and one who finishes strong — focused, energized, and ready for more.
“I’ve known Melissa for many years, both as an athlete and as a professional performance-based nutritionist. If you are a young, developing athlete or an experienced athlete looking to increase your athletic/sports performance through nutrition, Melissa’s professionalism, knowledge, and experience as a former athlete will undoubtedly help and guide you to your next level.” – Tony Carbonette, Certified Athletic Therapist and Head Coach, Upper Canada Cyclones U15AAA
Why Nutrition Coaching Matters
Hockey players are often given generic nutrition advice — from the internet, a coach, or a strength trainer. But every athlete has different needs based on age, position, training schedule, and goals.
My 1:1 coaching helps bridge the gap between what your athlete is eating and what their body actually needs to perform, recover, and grow. This is personalized, evidence-based support that fits your athlete’s life and helps them feel their best on and off the ice.
When your athlete learns to fuel properly, they:
Have steady energy through every shift
Recover faster between games and practices
Stay focused and consistent under pressure
Build strong habits that support both health and performance
This isn’t just about food — it’s about giving them the tools to thrive, on the ice and in life.
How 1:1 Nutrition coaching works
Your athlete will receive individualized, ongoing support that adapts to their goals, schedule, and growth. Here’s what’s included:

100% recommend to anyone wanting to up their game. My nutrition has never been better. Your teachings have changed my attitude towards food and lifestyle. Honestly, thank you so much. Melissa is amazing at what she does, not only in the knowledge she has but in her methods of putting it across in an easy to understand format. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking to improve their nutritional habits and lifestyle. – Dan
The Results go beyond performance
This isn’t about restrictive meal plans or quick fixes. It’s about lasting change.
With consistent, expert coaching, your athlete will:
Have more energy and endurance through every game and practice
Recover faster and stay ready for the next challenge
Sharpen their focus for better decision-making on the ice
Build confidence in their nutrition choices and daily habits
Parents often tell me the benefits extend far beyond the rink. Mealtime feels easier, grocery shopping becomes less stressful, and family routines feel more intentional. Everyone learns what fuelled to perform really looks like — and how sustainable, balanced fuelling can help athletes thrive in sport and in life.
Why work with a professional?
Teen athletes have unique needs — they’re growing, training hard, and managing the demands of school and sport. Generic advice from the internet can’t meet those needs.
As a Certified Holistic Nutritionist specializing in sports nutrition, I provide evidence-based guidance tailored to each athlete’s goals, growth stage, and schedule. My approach helps players perform their best while building sustainable, healthy habits that extend far beyond hockey.
Client Spotlight: From Gut Issues to Game-Day Confidence
When a 13-year-old high-level hockey player came to me, he was struggling with stomach cramps and fear around eating. His parents wanted to help him gain weight and feel confident eating again, but weren’t sure what or how much he needed.
Over six months of one-on-one coaching, we rebuilt his fuelling routine, focused on balanced meals, and identified simple supplement strategies that supported his digestion and growth.
The results spoke for themselves. He gained nearly 10 pounds between April and September, his stomach issues subsided, and he was able to eat comfortably and confidently again. His parents noticed a clear difference in his energy late in games — no more cramps, no more fade-outs. Just consistent, strong play from start to finish.
