Good stuff. I've been using the Parisi Speed School Active Dynamic Warm-up for over 20 years. I never organized it into the RAMP framework but I just did this morning and it is very helpful. I have one warm-up for when we are outside, one for inside, and then I can use that framework to prioritize if (and it happens) we are pressed for time because we get to the rink later or whatever and have to shorten things up.
That's awesome John! Parisi's stuff is great! I find that as long as you have RAMP in mind, you can always get in a high-quality warm-up regardless of the parameters. If we give players a complete list to follow and then it turns out they only have 7 minutes and need to do it basically on the spot with no space. Your approach sounds perfect & glad this could help refine even further!
I've been doing a dynamic warm-up like this before my games and avoiding the on-ice static stretching. What are your thoughts about static stretching before a game?
Static stretching isn't ideal. I do it over an hour before a game because of my tight back and hip issues, but the closer you get to the match the better it is to do a dynamic warmup. Ideally, static stretching should be done after a game. It extends your muscles and sometimes creates micro-tears in your tissue that can be torn or seriously injured with a sudden movement during a match.

Should I do it an hour before hockey? Or just before getting dressed.
preferably as close to getting on the ice as possible.
thanks!
Our pleasure :)
