Phil Kessel rare missed a game.

Martin Brodeur didn't start to miss games until he got older and figured he needed to workout in order to keep out.

Sometimes working out hard isn't always the best thing.

Sergei Zubov smoked like a chimney, could play 30 minutes a night.

Dustin Byfuglien made no sense how a man that size could skate so well and fast and seemingly never break a sweat.

I swear this new age working out for the players is doing damage to a lot of them. It's obviously still better than smoking and destroying pizzas, but it's probably why there seems to be so many more injuries now than 25ish years ago and maybe more.
100% agreed!

What cause most injuries is repetitions. But not just workout repetitions. Daily activities can also be very repetitive (keyboard typing, gaming, etc) and lead to injuries over time like tendinities, back/shoulder issues or carpal tunnels.

Injuries that used to happen to secretaries after 20-25 years working, are now showing up among 20-30 years old.
