Hockey is hard on hips. A few range-of-motion measurements, three self-tests and a couple of honest answers show where your mobility, control and side-to-side balance sit — before they turn into a groin pull or a hip-flexor flare.
CLEARED
Risk tierCleared for full loads
Your hips are tracking well for hockey loads. Keep mobility and adductor work in rotation as maintenance.
See your findings and plan ↓This screen is a training tool, not a medical diagnosis. It estimates injury risk from self-reported measures and movement quality. Sharp pain, recent trauma, locking, clicking, or numbness — get cleared by a sports physician or PT.
Each finding comes with where it lives and a drill to begin with. The plan below is a starting point — anything painful belongs with a sports physio first.

Breakdown
Worth reading before you skip the screen.
Repeated abduction and external rotation, almost no internal rotation under load. Tissue and capsule adapt to that pattern — and start fighting it.
When glute medius can’t stabilize, the adductor longus takes the lateral push — and it is one of the most commonly strained tissues in skaters.
Loss of internal rotation often shows up before pain. It’s linked with FAI, labral irritation and groin strain risk — and you can measure it in 30 seconds.
Daily mobility flow, Copenhagen-family adductor strength, and unilateral lower body. The starting plan above lays these out for you.
What players ask after their first screen — measurement, interpretation, and what comes next.
A screen tells you where to look. A program does the work — mobility, adductor strength and single-leg control, built into your training week.
