Subject: RE: Placement on PeeWee A or B
Debbie,
Hope she gets on the B team. If confidence is the issue here then
playing on a team where she excels is far better than playing on a team
That might get destroyed because the competition in the league is
far over thier heads. I lived this experience when I played Pee Wee's
I made the Pentucket A team. We played in the Greater Boston league
and we won less than half the games. The B team went on to be champions
in the Rockingham-Essex league and what was worse when we used to
scrimage
them we would lose every time. Not because they were better skaters or
better coached
but because they had more confidence. In hockey confidence is a very
major part of the
game.

Subject: the odors
Hi! Tonite's my first practice so I need to know how to get rid of the
smells. I live in a college dorm and my roommates are already concerned
about what kind of odors will be hanging around. I think I once read
about bathing them with baking soda. I need help fast!

Subject: shoulder pads
I am looking for a contact number to D+R (Rage) shoulder pads. Does anyone have any
comments about this type of shoulder pads.
I am looking for a high quality shoulder pad for my daughter. She is playing on a
boys bantam full contact team. I feel that the SP800 will not give good enough
protection for this level of contact.
Please reply directly to email@hidden
thank you

Hi Heidi et al:
Don't worry too much about odor initially...one practice won't make your
gear so ripe your roommates will want to kick you out. It's only after
you've broken in the equipment that you may have a problem. Quick fix for
now? Make sure you get your gear out of your bag as quickly as possible and
spray it down with a can of Lysol. This will eliminate most of the odor.
Long term? (Although I've never done this myself, I'm too lazy) Most of the
gear can go in the washing machine, delicate cycle with non-harsh detergent
and then laid out to dry, or stick it in the bathtub with the baking soda,
soak it and then hang to dry.
One more thing...talk your roommates into joining you on the ice. It's great
exercise and is a lot more fun than step aerobics and their gear will smell
as bad as yours, so they won't be on your case. As for the rest of the dorm,
well...

Hello (what's your name?):
I understand your concern about your daughter's protection (and I'm sorry to
say that I've not heard of D+R (Rage) shoulder pads) but I don't think it's
the shoulder pads that you should worry about. More important is protection
from the waist down. They have new girls/women's hockey pants out that have
a lot more protection in the groin area and are heavily padded in tailbone
and outer thigh. Also shinpads. The only girls I've ever seen hurt have had
lousy shinguards or skates. Most of the hits that she will take (checks and
from sticks/pucks) will be from the waist down.
Good luck to your daughter!

Subject: Re: the odors
I have to store Mike's goalie pads in the dining room. I've found two
sprays that work well. Renuzit NeutralOdor and Wizard Sunsplash. The Wizard
I found in Toronto but haven't looked for it here in the south.It's very
citrus-y. If you have a Sam's Wholesale there's a
concentrate called Odo-Ban that you mix with water. It's rather strong, so
open a window after spraying. But you can spray the insides of your gear
til lightly damp & let dry & it doesn't seem to affect them.

Gloves (if not leather) & Elbow pads - throw in wash machine w/ hot water &
a bit of soap. (You may want to try the amr & hammer detergent - it has
baking soda in it.) AIR DRY.
don;t put your pants in the washing machine. (I learned this one the hard
way.)
also - you may want to try Lysol Spray (Fresh Linen Scent) - this helps a
bit. do not use the regular scented Lysol - it is too heavy a smell and makes
the stuff worse. (I also learned this the hard way.
Take all of your stuff out of the bag IMMEDIATELY upon returning home. do not
let thsi stuff fester overnight. (also learned that the hard way.)
Hope this helps.

Cedar works great for the gloves; it's the only thing I've found that
actually neutralizes the oders and keeps the smell off your hands. Get the
the little cedar slabs. I made the mistake of getting a bag of the balls
and they just roll out of your gloves, or get stuck in the fingers (pretty
embarrassing when you're going on the ice, trying to dig a little cedar ball
out of your glove!). No strong cover up smell, either. I'll bet some
chunks on the bottom or the bag would help all of your equipment (just
thought of this and will now try it out).

I have found that baking soda works miracles in between washing. Yes, it
is a little grainy in your gloves and on your shin pads, but for those
who don't want chemicals on your equipment, it really works well,
absorbing odor *and* moisture. Put them out in the sun a bit and you've
got some fresh equipment :) You put it in your fridge, why not?
