Yes, and it so happens that the arena they'll be using is actually open use for IS Academy's students as well. So my guys will be doing these "Shuttle Runs", using Inline Skates, as the students are watching.

But my guys actually call these "Herbies". Why they called them "Herbies" is because US Ice Hockey Coach Herb Brooks is the one who implied this conditioning drill into his training/practice sessions for his Ice Hockey team. What made the Herbies well known is this...



Herb Brooks was furious on how his team performed in a game against Norway's National Hockey Team and made them do "Herbies", after playing a whole Hockey game.

If you think that movie scene is just fiction, it's not. It's based on the true story of the 1980 USA Ice Hockey team.
