The Ride To The Rink - The Gross Truth: How Bad Hygiene Hurts Your Hockey Performance
Description
🧼 Hockey kids… we love you. But some of you stink.
And today, we’re tackling a topic every parent is cheering for and every young player needs to hear: HYGIENE. Don’t panic. Don’t turn us off. This one’s going to help you stay healthy, stay in the lineup, and yes… stop clearing the bench with your gear odor.
In this Ride to the Rink, Lee and Mike break down why taking care of your body isn’t just a “parent rule” — it’s a hockey advantage. From brushing your teeth to washing your gear to actually showering after games (yes, kids… we said shower), these small daily habits make a big difference.
đźšż In This Episode, We Cover:
- Why poor hygiene keeps kids out of the lineup
- The real reason your gear smells like it’s plotting an escape
- Toothaches, sickness, and the pain you don’t want as a hockey player
- What older and pro players do to stay clean and healthy
- How showing up well-kept translates to confidence and life skills
- The simple five habits every young player should master
🙌 Parents — this is the episode you've been waiting for.
 Kids — we believe in you. And trust us… your teammates will thank you.
