TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
ALEX DELVECCHIO
Today’s Colin Timberlake Training Inspiration is a man who was one of the most well-conditioned and durable athletes of his generation, playing NHL hockey into his 40s and enjoying an illustrious 24-year career with the Detroit Red Wings.
Alex Delvecchio played in 1,549 NHL games, scoring 456 goals and 1,281 points, retiring as one of the all-time leaders in all notable offensive categories.
He was a model of consistency, scoring 50 or more points in 17 of his seasons, and enjoying his finest year (83 points) at the age of 36, when most athletes are slowing down. He was among the top ten in league scoring eleven times.
He was just as potent a threat in the playoffs, winning three Stanley Cups and scoring 104 points in his 121 playoff games.
He played in 13 All-Star Games and three times won the Lady Byng Trophy as the player who best combined skill and sportsmanship on the ice.
