The best way is to spray them down with Lysol disinfectant because the equipment has a lot of bacteria on it. I would say spray all the equipment out and then dry and then do it again. If you don't want to do it yourself, there are places that clean hockey equipment professionally. They can even have it done the next day for you. Check with your local rink and see if their are any businesses that offer this service. It's a must that you clean the equipment due to all the bacteria that grows in your equipment. This could cause you to get sick.

Yep:\n\nNike footwear cleaning instructions\n\nLeather and suede shoes:\n\nDo not immerse or soak in water. Do not machine wash or dry leather and suede products. Hand wash them using a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water. Air dry. Clean your shoes immediately after use when they have been exposed to mud or dirt. Saddle soap may also be used for leather products. Let them air dry.

Old style you wore garters that kept them up; now the shorts you keep your cup in have velcro flaps that attach to the top of your socks and keep them up under your hockey pants.\n\nI don't wear either.  I don't need a cup, and the garters make me laugh. I wear workout pants under my gear because it keeps me cooler and warmer, and keeps my gear from getting as stinky.\n\nSo I just pull my socks up over my shinguards and tape them once around the top so they don't slip back down again.  Sometimes I'll tape under my knee too, but really it's not a big deal.  My pads and my socks all seem to stay put just fine.\n\nI don't like bare legs against my shinguards.  Gross.  Ew.\n\nI'm not the only person who does it this way, but I think most people wear the shorts.  Even the girls on my girls' team do.

Hockey socks are much bigger and fit over your shin pads.  They go all the way up, over your thigh and connect to your garters or jock.  They also have no feet.

I have washed my gloves in the machine but inside out and make sure they are really dry before using then again.\n\nIf your not to sure, wash them by hand, make sure you rinse them well and only use a very small amount of washingpowder.

Brown make the best and the lightest goalie equipment,period. I have a pair of EXCEL pads they weigh 4 LBS each and donot soak up any moisture so they stay at that weight,they provide the best protection at the best price. Their gloves are great and their chest arm pads are without equal. I know from experience.

drink water, lots and lots of water, how you stretch-- go over to edge of hockey boxes that dont have glass, put one leg straight on the edge and one on the ice. toes your blades for awhile then bend down one touch your toes of the foot on the ice. repeat with other side. its called gatorade cuz ppl at the u of florida (the gators) developed it. when doing a one-foot spin touch foot to knee. learing to stop hockey-style (on the side) is mandatory for good stoping. back-stratch-spins are sometimes easier to do, so ask your coach

Well first of all, keep it wrapped in ice as much as possible to keep it from swelling and making things even harder.  Also, before the game ice it again to keep it a little numb. Before u put the gloves on, tape it a little to keep it from moving to much, and geting unconfortable. After you have put your gloves on, even though its not recomended for a goalie since you depend on your reach, tape your pointer and middle finger together, so that it stays imobilized, and that way you´ll protect your finger as much as possible, and compromise your goalkeeping as little as possible.  But keep in mind, that neither your finger will be protected nor will your goalkeeping be unaffected, you must find a half way point, because things will change.  You have to compromise to a confortable point.

The first thing you will need to do is take them to a skate sharpener to have them sharpened. These can be found at ice rinks, skating supply stores and some general sports wear stores. You should also buy a polish to keep the leather supple (if they are leather). Keep them packed with guards on the blades in a closet where no little hands or curious animal noses can get to them, they are really sharp when properly maintained.
