What are your go-to Reebok training gear pieces? How do they support your training?

The Nano X5 has been a super reliable shoe for my lifting and cross-training in the gym. It is hard to find a versatile training shoe these days that supports my wide range of sport-specific exercises, and the Nano X5 does just that. 

The Training Tech T-shirtWorkout Ready Shorts, and Strength Hoodie are my go-to around the rink when working out or warming up for games.

What does your training routine look like? 

Every day throughout the season can look a little different, and a lot goes into making sure I'm ready for game time. Our staff with the Capitals provide a very detailed training regimen, and it has been great to have Reebok gear to support my workouts.

Whether it's recovery-oriented after a series of hard games or an intense workout making sure we stay strong, I can depend on a wide range of Reebok clothing and shoes to make sure I'm at my best.

What does it mean to you to be featured in a Reebok campaign?

Reebok is an established brand that has proven its dedication to athletes and their lifestyle for a long time. I have been a fan of the company since I was a kid, and now, as a professional hockey player, I feel privileged to be able to join and represent Team Reebok.

I am excited about the future with this team and believe big things are coming!
