For many people, the Wingate Test is a stationary bike experience that many will avoid at all costs. For others, it's a yearly experiment to gauge anaerobic capacity.
For William Karlsson and many other professional hockey players, it's part of any other workout.
The Golden Knights forward took team broadcaster Shane Hnidy through one of his offseason workouts while Hnidy and members of the Vegas staff are in Stockholm for the team's VGK Worldwide Sweden initiative.
Hnidy, who played 550 games in the NHL, was up to joining Karlsson for the workout and he said he understood quickly why the center is among the faster players in the league. The Wingate was something that Hnidy was never eager to do in his NHL training camps.
