In my mind, Kevin Neeld is one of the top 5–6 strength and conditioning coaches in ice hockey. It’s not often I turn to younger coaches for advice, but Kevin is someone I count on to stay on top of the latest information and apply it effectively with his athletes.

I can say without wavering that Kevin is one of my most trusted resources in strength and conditioning. We knew early on he’d be a major presence in the field—his work ethic, demeanor, and genuine interest in helping athletes stand out. I can’t recommend him enough.

Kevin is one of the smartest people I’ve met, but what stands out most is his demeanor and ability to make athletes better every session. He identifies individual needs, communicates clearly, and consistently delivers results. He’s the gold standard in hockey performance.

Kevin is one of the most trusted and forward-thinking practitioners in hockey performance. His ability to bridge sport science and real-world application makes his work both practical and impactful.

Kevin has a relentless commitment to growth—for himself and the field. He’s always asking better questions and raising the standard of professionalism in our industry while earning the respect from outside the field that coaches deserve.

Kevin has been a true source of inspiration for me. He consistently challenges how we think about the next frontier of hockey performance. His curiosity and insight push conversations forward and elevate how I approach my work.

When it comes to true professionals, Kevin stands out. He has a holistic, athlete-centered approach and consistently delivers results at every level. He’s someone I trust and can always bounce ideas off.

I trained with Kevin during the 2018-2019 season. I was impressed with Kevin’s ability to integrate on-ice practice with off-ice training to optimize performance despite an uncertain schedule. Kevin’s attention to detail and focusing on the appropriate workload helped me to be ready both physically and mentally to compete. Kevin made it a fun and challenging atmosphere each day.

Working with Kevin for three seasons in Boston was the best thing that happened in my career. His ability to integrate on- and off-ice training into a cohesive program helped make me faster, while also improving my mobility and strength. Kevin deserves a ton of credit for keeping me prepared over the last 4 seasons, and ultimately helping me realize my dream of representing the US in the 2022 Olympics.

Kevin is a world-class performance coach and an even better person. He has a great ability to create a program around what’s best for each individual athlete. One of my favorite things about Kevin’s programs was how he tailored them around my injuries. I was able to do a full workout and feel accomplished without having any setbacks. He goes above and beyond to make sure you’re healthy and in the best shape possible to compete.

Every aspect of my game has seen improvement: speed, agility, strength and cardio. As a smaller player, I am never outmatched physically.
