Do An Equipment Check

SuperDeker is the best hockey puck training equipment for developing soft hands and stickhandling skills!If you've gained a few pounds over the COVID-19 quarantine you are not alone. That is why it is going to be crucial to check your equipment, maybe for one last airing out or wash, and make sure it all still fits well before you hit the ice!

While gear like your helmet or gloves should still fit, things like hockey pants, girdles, or shoulder pads may need to be sized up for some extra weight you may have put on.

If you’re like me you play the last game of the season and then neglect your gear until the next season starts. Prepare your sticks for use by taking off the old tape and re-taping your grip and blade. Re-wax the bottom of your blade after you have taped it to ensure smooth stickhandling on the ice, and test out your stick’s flex to make sure it doesn’t have any cracks or weak points from last season.

Just like you, your gear has been out of the game for a while, so get it all together ahead of time so you’re not scrambling on the day of your first game!

Chances are things will be different as soon as you enter the rink, with symptom checks and health screening right at the front door. The dressing rooms should be marked for social distancing and cleanliness, and even experiences we used to take for granted -like sharing water bottles and sitting on the bench together- may be changed forever.
