I use some of the sprays that you can buy from hockey shops. I also use smelly pucks, I have about 7 in my bag and it keeps the smell out pretty good.

7 smelly pucks? I use one in my bag that I use for ice and roller and it works fine. Which sprays are you talking about? I have a tendency to lose the smelly pucks and these sprays might be worth an investment if i can find them for a good price.

The fresh pucks are called "Freddy Fresh Puck" at least the ones I use. Just to let you know.

I use sonic aroma spray, I got a pretty big bottle of it for $10. And those smelly pucks have been collected over a long period of time, its pretty weird in my bag all 7 of them have different smells so my equipment just smell incredibly sweet.

where can I find these "smelly pucks", or the "freddy fresh pucks"?
is there a web site?

thanks in advance!

I own a Roller Hockey Facility, and you think your bag is bad!!!
There are some good sprays available: No BO, Zap, XO. Smelly pucks are good. (Be very careful if you have birds in your house-many of these sprays can cause bad breathing problems with pet birds-XO seems to be the best if you have birds)
We even have a goalie that puts dryer sheets in the glove.

But if you want STINK. We had a junior player that liked to keep his gloves soft and pliable.....So after each game, he put them in a SEALED ZipLock bag....They they stayed soft, because they were always damp...and wet=bacteria=STINK.

That is just WRONG.....sorry to anyone that was eating while reading this :-)

Man, that is totally sick.

[mgamby]

that is nasty! I think I just coughed up my breakfast!

thanks for all the great info!

[missionhockey21]

Yeah today at lunch that thought popped into my head, I was offically done eating, the sight of food made me sick.
