LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – FOX5 Sports Anchor Vince Sapienza decided to test his mettle and give you a first-hand look at what it takes to be a member of the scarlet and gray.
Following up their historic, record-breaking season in 2023-24, the UNLV Hockey program is once again setting their sights on a National Championship.
However, before they hit the ice for fall camp, every student-athlete must go through a series of fitness tests, culminating with the bike test, that they must get through and pass.
The strength and conditioning coach for the Skatin’ Rebels says the student-athletes go through seven to eight tests to make sure their upper and lower bodies stay up to par throughout the summer.
Sapienza went through the bike conditioning test. Players of the Skatin’ Rebels must pass this as there’s a high level of burn that goes through the legs while playing hockey.
