Hockey Fans In Training

Hockey Fans in Training (Hockey FIT) is an innovative health promotion program focused on improving the health of overweight male hockey fans through the power of sport. Fans are engaged in the program through the use of team facilities and staff who pro-actively support and help the men build and sustain healthy lifestyle changes. 

Hockey FIT uses simple, tailored messaging, top-of-the line technology and social media tools, and promotes safe gradual changes to physical activity levels and healthy eating. These resources and tools have helped us achieve an average of 8 to 9lbs of weight loss for our participants, not including a host of other health improvements including reducing blood pressure. Supported by other men who are fans of the team once a week over 12 weeks, our program provides participants with the tools to achieve a healthy lifestyle. Hockey FIT is delivered at community gyms and team arenas giving participants a behind-the-scenes look into their favourite hockey team.
