The St. Louis Blues NHL team brought its draftees and players to Maryville’s Human Performance Lab during the team’s summer development camp to assess their conditioning and strength. The Lab features the same high-end equipment used by the Blues’ strength staff. Maryville is currently the only performance lab in the region that has WattBikes, which are used by the NHL Combine, says Victor Kizer, CSCS, TSAC-F (right), director of Maryville’s exercise science program and assistant professor. Kizer and the Blues strength coaches closely monitored the players during the assessments.
