Athletic Republic Germain Arena is proud to announce Brett Yochum as the December Strength and Conditioning player of the month.

A native of Palm City, Fla., Yochum is noted for his dedication to skill development. “Brett came into this season wanting to work on his skills,” said coach Tyler Carlston. “He’s spent a lot of time working on his conditioning and even more on his skills.”

Yochum has spent so much time in the Athletic Republic shooting room he’s been wearing through his gloves. “I’ve had to repair them a few times, but I feel like I’m starting to see results on the ice,” said Yochum.
