TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
TIM KERR
Today’s Colin Timberlake Training Inspiration is a man who was on the fast track to the Hockey Hall of Fame before his career was cut regrettably short by a series of injuries and surgeries.
Tim Kerr was a scoring machine for the Philadelphia Flyers in the 1980s, posting four straight seasons with 50 or more goals, and leading the entire NHL in power play goals for three straight years.
He was a key element in two runs the Flyers made to the Stanley Cup Finals, and scored an impressive 40 goals in only 81 career playoff games.

He was a key element in two runs the Flyers made to the Stanley Cup Finals, and scored an impressive 40 goals in only 81 career playoff games.
Kerr played in 13 NHL seasons, but was limited to 40 games or less in five of his final six years in the league. His continual attempts to rehab his injuries and return to the NHL ranks won him the 1989 Bill Masterton Trophy for perseverance and dedication to the game of hockey.
Kerr would only play in 655 games in his career, but would compile 370 goals and 674 points in that span, making him one of the top goal scorers of his era. He also played in three straight All-Star Games from 1984 to 1986.

Rest and recovery day for the most part. Getting a few nagging aches and pains, even though I’m not training all that hard.
