From Player to Coach: My Journey Through Hockey
My name is Justin Cohn, and like many hockey players, I didn’t fully understand the value of health and recovery until my playing days were over. I grew up competing at a high level with the Philadelphia Jr. Flyers, and by 17, I was playing junior hockey. Over the years, I competed in the NA3HL, EHL, GOJHL, and NCDC, eventually committing to Alvernia University (NCAA DIII). Behind the scenes, I started quietly developing the CleanFuel System—a wellness program built specifically for hockey players ages 15–25. During the 2024-25 season, I gave my athletes resources on nutrition, recovery, mindset, and sleep—not by force, but by encouraging them to think critically, ask questions, and take control of their health. The result? The lowest rate of injuries and illnesses I’ve seen in my entire career.
Coaching at Every Level of the Game
After college, I made the jump to coaching—starting with the New Mexico Ice Wolves (NA3HL) and helping lead their 14U team. The next season, I became the youngest junior head coach in the U.S., helping build the Decatur Blaze Elite team and serving as assistant coach for their Premier squad.
Launching a National-Level Prep Program
In 2024, I launched my own prep hockey program in Columbus, Ohio alongside my best friend. We finished the season 9 games over .500, played against college and junior teams, and went on a 10-game winning streak all the way to the national championship. While we came up just short in the final, it was one of the proudest moments of my life.
Why I Built CleanFuel
Too many players burn out, break down, or get passed up—not because they didn’t have the talent, but because no one ever taught them how to take care of the machine. I’ve seen it. I’ve lived it. That’s why I built CleanFuel.
This isn’t just about eating clean or sleeping more. It’s about taking full ownership of your development. It’s about showing up with intention, doing what others won’t, and giving yourself every possible edge. CleanFuel is for the athlete who refuses to settle—for the one who wants to last, to dominate, and to build a career, not just a highlight reel.
I’m doing this because players deserve more than just reps and ice time. They deserve the tools to thrive—in the game and beyond it.
