indykrap Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Not the prettiest setup, but it works. My post-game routine is: Spray everything down with Febreze antibacterial Skates, glove (propped open), blocker, knee pads, and neckguard go in the rocket dryer Mask gets a wipe down, back straps get a wringing out with paper towel, mask is laid down in the middle rack with opening facing out (for airflow) Pads laid down as pictured Chesty and pants hung up for maximum airflow on the internals Fan on full blast on mask, pads, chesty, pants Laundry (base layers, socks, jersey, sweatband, towel) goes in once everything is hung up and going. Usually throw in whatever's in the laundry bin as well for bonus points with the GF Once laundry is done in the dryer (~2hrs total), chesty and pants go in the rocket dryer and runs overnight Glove gets tied shut with a softball in the pocket till the next game Everything stays hung up where it's at until the next game Most hands-off and effective approach I've ever taken, and tucked in the corner of the basement so it's out of the way. I'd love to get the full stall rocket dryer or an equivalent but they're expensive and this works fine enough for me and I can have fresh gear the next day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My God, do you also leave yourself mints or chocolates on the gear bag when you're done?

A blower fan and cyclone fan for air drying. Hot tub, kegerator and TV. Makes for a nice way to unwind after a game. Thinking about dropping in some synthetic ice. @MangoRhinehart is that an inflatable hot tub? If so, I'd appreciate your insights/recommendations. 56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still in Bauer Pros with Step Steel Extreme but am considering trimming the medial aspect of the cowlings for additional attack angle. If so, can you share some pics and insights? Thanks! 56 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! 56 Nothing I've done myself. They're stock CCM Tacks, just before they completely abandoned using cowlings all together. https://www.thehockeyshop.com/blogs/goalie-gear-reviews/ccm-tacks-goal-skate-review It's essentially just a toe cap for slightly better protection and style points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a decent purchase, though we had to replace the pump unit after a year or two, we had it stored outside in a deck box and it didnt like that, so it lives in the garage now. It gets up to 104 and you can either heat or bubbles. Bubbles will drop heat fast. Usually takes about 12-24 hours to heat up fully. We use bleach and a testing kit to make sure its good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
