Max Pacioretty is a 6’2’’, 203 pound left winger that is creating some excitement at the Montreal Canadians camp, so much excitement in fact that this 19-year-old was featured on NHL.com. The NHL has always been a goal of Max’s, and his hard work is paying off. 

Max has trained on Athletic Republic programs at BlueStreak Sports Training Stamford, CT since the age of 15. His training allowed him to enter camp in great shape with 5.7% body fat and with the highest recorded vertical jump (36”) in Montreal’s rookie camp history. In a short four years his list of accomplishments includes USHL Rookie of the Year, NHL 1st round draft pick, CCHA Rookie of the Year and NHL contract.  Athletic Republic’s Vice President of Hockey had this to say about Max, “There are few athletes that test their personal limits as much as Max has done over the last four year span at BlueStreak. Max’s energy, intensity and relentless pursuit of perfection are the reason he adapts at every level. He will surprise many this year in the NHL.” 

Max played for the University of Michigan last winter and immediately earned a spot on the Wolverines number one line with Hobey Baker winner Kevin Porter. His journey from high school to NHL was recently featured on MaxPreps.com. Max credits Athletic Republic performance sports training programs for his success. “I can’t believe the incredible benefit BlueStreak & Athletic Republic has meant to my career, from the (hockey) treadmill, plyos to the plyo press. All of these things have helped me develop into a faster, quicker & more explosive hockey player.”

Good Luck Max in the upcoming season!
