McDole Performance would like to congratulate Joe Doerksen on his big win at UFC 113 in Montreal this past weekend. Joe just came off a fight in Detroit 3 weeks earlier and took this fight with less than three weeks notice. That being said he took no time off from training and you could say his conditioning is part of what helped him in his big win against Tom Lawlor. After exchanging blows in the first round, Joe came out energized in the second and got an early submission in the second round.

Joe Doerksen's submission victory

Doerksen will be in action again soon in CFC 5 in Winnipeg along with fellow McDole Performance athletes Lance Cartwright and Augi Giuseppe.

We would also like to wish our CFLers good luck going into camps next month. Jordan Matechuk is heading into his fourth season with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats as their starting longsnapper, and will play all special teams, as well as fullback/linebacker this season. Don Oramasionwu is heading into his second season with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Don is looking to capitalize on a successful rookie campaign that saw him record 14 tackles and 3 sacks in limited action. Finally Eddie Steele will be heading to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats with high expectations after being selected 22nd over all in this years CFL draft.

Good luck fellas, we know all the work you did this off season is going to show on the field this year.

McDole Performance Systems (MPS) is recognized as one of the top sports performance training facilities in Canada. MPS has trained professionals from the NHL, AHL, CFL, UFC, as well as numerous amateurs from the WHL and CIS. MPS has years of experience training hockey players in this province with one goal in mind: making you the best player on the ice.

There is a stark difference between off-season training elsewhere and off-season training at MPS. A collection of like-minded and motivated athletes and Strength Coaches pushes players towards their goals, moving them closer to being the best players they can be. MPS-trained hockey players have won numerous awards and are currently projected amongst the top Canadian prospects for the NHL draft over the course of the next few years.

Note: Due to the overwhelming success of our program in 2009, our 2010 program is filling up fast and space is limited. All of our strength sessions are based on a 1:2 or 1:3 coach to players ratio, which ensures the success of each athlete we train. This type of training benefits the players markedly; however, it only allows for MPS’ Strength Coaches to train a select number of players each summer. We recommend you come in for your initial evaluation immediately (no matter if you plan on starting in April, May or June). Doing so will reserve you a spot within the program.

For more information, or to schedule your initial evaluation, please call us at (204)453-3935 to schedule your Structural Balance Assessment to get you on the track to success.
