i think I have been under recovered lately. I used to do a better job of resting every 3 days, but lately i haven't stuck to that at all. I shifted to 5/2, but now I'm more like 5 or 6/1 and sometimes that one is a hockey day. My problem (there are actually many) is that I feel like a slacker when I don't WoD on a day. I know improvements come with recovery, but I have negleted this aspect for a while.
The Hockey schedule really affects my results too. This week I have 2 games. Before the Thursday game I did some OHS. I then felt less juice in my legs during the game. On Friday i did 'death by 10m' and definitely felt my quads tire sooner than expected, probably the result of Thursday's activities andit being my 5th day in a row. Now, with a game on Sunday night, i have a choice. I can try to get in a Wod today, or rest for Sunday's game. If I rest, then i have no WoD on Sat, Sun and a late one on monday. I love playing and won't give it up, but I have to figure out how to plan in regular rest days and how to work around hockey. Should hockey count as my WoD? Or should it be an 'active rest?' If it counts as my WoD, then I miss more main site WoDs. I'm not sure what I'll do, but i need to get back on track. I really think more rest is the key.

Here is my two cents: I think hockey is to much intensity to be an active rest day. I think of an active rest day as an easy hike or a shoot around game of basketball.
I feel you have great strength and do not necessarily need to do a CFSB program, maybe choose 1 lift to work on and do that only once a week for a cycle, your deads are strong as well as your back squat, maybe pick press or fronts, or you could just practice ONE olympic lift to work on per week. I think between CFSB, main site WOD and hockey you are wearing yourself thin. You can do most of the WODs as RX as far as barbell weight is concerned. Strength is not your weakness. (I know a high CFT is cool) Focus more on gymnastics.
Also, either make the day before hockey or the same day as hockey on off day from the mainsite and then go back and choose which mainsite WOD would hit your weaknesses better if you fall behind. You are not a slacker!!!.
MORE REST and hit the ZONE hard, i know you do not like it that much but it has not done me wrong yet and I can really tell the difference when I am not following it.
