In this article, we'll look at the best practices for storing hockey equipment so you can make sure your gear stays in perfect condition. Most gear can be found at Hockey Outlet.

Why proper storage is important?

  • Maintain optimal performance: Dobře udržované vybavení vám umožní hrát na nejvyšší úrovni.

Steps for proper storage of hockey equipment

1. Drying of equipment

After each training session or match it is important to let the equipment dry thoroughly:

  • Hang up your equipment: use the special hockey equipment racks or hangers you can find at Hockey Outlet.
  • Spread everything out: Each piece of equipment should be separate so it can dry well.
  • Use a fan: Placing a fan near the equipment can speed up the drying process.

2. Cleaning of equipment

Regular cleaning is essential to maintain the hygiene and functionality of the equipment:

  • Wash regularly: Some items of equipment, such as jerseys and underwear, can be machine washed. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
    Disinfectant sprays: Use special disinfectant sprays for hockey gear that help kill bacteria and Hockey equipment deodorizer Howies.

3. Storage in a dry environment

Store the equipment in a dry place away from moisture:
