Cracking an NHL lineup is a daunting task for all young prospects.
Natural ability alone does not guarantee you a spot. Daily workouts and a balanced diet throughout the summer are required for a rookie to impress at, and be prepared for, training camp.
With the 2009-10 season fast approaching THN writer Ryan Kennedy caught up with some of the league’s top prospects, including the Islanders' John Tavares, Tampa Bay's Victor Hedman, Montreal's P.K. Subban and Toronto's Tyler Bozak to discuss their off-season health regiments.

"I think I've done a really good job the whole year. I'm just going to keep going. I finish my hits, it's nothing out of the ordinary. With these hits, you can't look at that and say, 'That's a really bad hit.' You have to slow it down and look at it in detail to suspend me. That's what they're going to do. And that's fine with me. I'll take it. It will make me a better hockey player at the end of the day."
