I'm a college hockey player and recently find myself in need of a boost of energy, that extra burst of energy just isn't there right now and want to know ways I can get it back (from previous seasons), Im only 21 so know it's not from getting old. Im working out and skating about 10-15 hours a week and am not on any supplements. Please help!!

go for natural ghee-butter product. u can find it in pakistani stores easily. have a glass of milk in the morning and mix that natural ghee-butter in it... make it slightly warm and swallow it like anything, even if u dont like it.
secondly, go for bananas. they r energy bombs.. try ro have milk-shakes on daily basis,.. specially of banana and apple's.
avoid junk food at any cost.

sounds like you need to rest a bit more, high quality rest. talk to the trainer about your diet, increase your quality calories (the idiot who said to stay away from protein doesn't know what theyre talking about) just don't overdo it real close to a game. try some supplements whey or soy protien to bulk up in conjuction with weight training. if youre 21 and not a serious prospect stay away from the roids they'll hurt you in the end and really its not worth it unless its gonna get you a job making millions and you would know by now if you were. last try mental training (picturing yourself with energy playing well) good luck.

No booze and nicotine. Get plenty of quality sleep. Maintain a balanced diet. If you're considering taking legally approved supplements, I'm ginseng is a good natural source of energy for athletes.

a couple hours b4 a game eat lots of pasta, it gives you energy. drink gatorade during the game or an energy drink. most importantly dont drink or smoke and go for runs to build endurance. if you work out you might get heavier from more muscle so make sure to work out your legs to support the extra wieght. get plently of sleep thats the main thing and have carbs b4 the game for energy.

Cut sugar out of your diet. Eat whole grain carbs a couple of hours before you skate. Don't eat protein like a big steak before skating.

eat things that are high in carbs and dont have a lot of sugar in them. do not look to energy drinks for energy.

Sleep more.
If you sleep more, you'll have more energy and you'll get bigger from lack of exercise if you keep your current eating patterns.
