Subject: Washing Gloves?
I think this was discussed last year sometime - but I'm not sure! I am in
the middle of cleaning up my hockey gear for next season. Most things I
have thrown in the washing machine (they're fine), but I don't know how to
clean my gloves. They smell like a wet dog! During the season I clean the
palm with Dubbin (a water-repellent leather conditioner) to keep them soft.
One of my horse-loving friends suggested using leather soap, like that used
on saddles. Or would a mild soap and warm water be okay? I'm afraid of the
leather going hard and coarse. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Christine

Whatever you might think of fighting, it's not, in general, fighting
which is causing horrific injuries. Slewfooting, slashing and checking from
behind are the kind of actions that send players to the hospital.
For example, a teenage boy in Illinois has been criminally charged
for an incident where he hit Neal Goss into the boards from behind
(allegedly just after the final buzzer); Goss is now paralyzed from
the waist down.
"Don't check from behind. Sucker punch the guy in the slot
instead," says Drew Remenda, onetime Sharks coach and now color
commentator for the Sharks (and crusader against checking from behind).
I don't think you should check from behind OR sucker punch, but of
the two, the punch is the safer action.

Refs are taught how to properly intervene a fight, and it is for their own
safety. They are supposed to wait for a break in the fight or if the players
fall to the ice. Players get thrown in the box when fight. The only
alternative could be the change the NHL rules to have the player get a game
misconduct for fighting like USA hockey rules.

EXACTLY my point. Or make the punishment more severe, as in other pro
sports. Then it will not even be an issue.

I often put baby powder in your gloves when I air out my equipment, this
helps dry them out plus can deordarize them some.
A teammate of mine swears by putting dryer sheets in hers.

If you start using Febreeze when the gloves are new, the battles with the
stench will be much smaller.
Canvas gloves can be thrown in the wash - use hot water otherwise the stink
will remain. (do not put them in the dryer.) I'm not so sure about the
leather gloves - but if they are to the point where you cannot use them
anyway (and you would ratehr throw them out) I would try putting them in the
wash. (and report back to the list the result!) Since most of the "leather"
gloves are not real leather, it may not be a big deal. (but you are on your
own with this - I have never tried it.) Perhaps if you put them inside a
pillowcase (and tie it shut) this will protect the surface of the gloves from
gettign ripped up by wstrange parts of the washing machine.)
I would not recommend washign the gloves by hand, becuase they absorb a LOT
of water, and they will take forever to dry. (The washer spin cycle removes a
lot of the water.)
I tired the powder once - but if you do this do not make the mistake of
taking your hand out of your glove and rubbing your eyes! (I speak from
personal experience. And deserve the Homer Simpson "DOH!" award for that
one!)
(I think I jsut cured my insomnia with this post!)

I have leather Sherwood gloves and they did get to the point that I was
going to throw them out in the toxic waste heep.
I doused the palms with liquid spic and span and then threw them in the
washer on the gentle cycle with hot water and my regular laundry soap. They
came out smelling fine and dandy. They took a day in the sun to dry out but
were good as new after that.
I have sense washed them maybe 5 or 6 times and they are still in good
shape.
Your results may vary but it works for me.
Febreeze, dryer sheets, orange oil on paper towels - none of these things
did a thing, throwing them in the washer was the only thing that worked.

Can someone send me stats or examples of violence in hockey, with results of
the action to the person that cause the event (penalty, suspension, ejection
from game/team/league/organization, prison sentence, etc.)?
It can be at men's or women's hockey at any level: youth, adult rec,
college, semi-pro, pro, whatever, etc.
Thanks.

I've thrown my Vic canvas ones in the washer. It didn't really help much, but
I don't think I had it set on hot water. The weird thing with my gloves is
that only the left one has a really bad smell to it. I've tried the Febreeze
in it, and the dryer sheets, and nothing seems to get it out. The right glove
has just the normal hockey smell. Although I have been looking into buying
another pair anyways since the palms are wearing out, in the thumb area. The
gloves are less than 2 years old, and they haven't had too much use. But I
think they might be worn out because they're not quite fit right. My hands
are out of proportion, my fingers are too long for the size of my hand (or at
least thats my theory why any gloves don't fit my hand) so none of the gloves
fit just right.

I had a similar experience last night during practice. I left my water
bottle, with the water in it, over the 2 week break for christmas. So of
course it smelled really bad, so I washed it. All I can say is don't use half
a bottle (ok, a little exaggeration) of dishwasher soap to clean it. It took
me at least 20 minutes to get it all (or so I thought) out. But after about
the 3rd drink during practice, it tasted like soap, and soapy water is not
exactly refreshing after skating drills.

One better way to clean out a smelly mildewy water bottle is to leave it
overnight with a solution of baking soda in warm water in it.

KING'S HAT TRICK LEADS U.S. SELECTS TO 7-0 WIN OVER GOPHERS
Katie King scored the game's first three goals and the U.S. Select Team
dominated Minnesota in a 7-0 win over the Gophers at Mariucci Arena.
King scored on a Cammi Granato rebound 5:41 into the opening period to give
the U.S. the only goal it would need, and the only one allowed by Minnesota
starting goalie Crystal Nicholas in the game's first 30 minutes.
Nicholas, making her first start since Nov. 23, stopped 18 of 19 shots
before giving way to Erica Killewald, a move which Gopher head coach Laura
Halldorson had planned to make prior to the game.
Less than two minutes after the change, King scored her second goal,
unassisted, and added her third at 13:44 of the second period. Karyn Bye's
lazer shot from 20 feet out with 3:22 left in the period gave the visitors a
4-0 lead.
Killewald, who played better than her numbers showed, stopped 14 shots in
the final period but the U.S. got three more goals in the final 20 minutes.
Erin Whitten had 11 saves in picking up the shutout for the U.S., which is
11-3-0 on its current tour and 4-0 versus collegiate opposition.
Minnesota, 12-5-0 and ranked sixth nationally, will play four games in six
games next week, beginning with a two-game series at Bemidji State, Monday
and Tuesday, with both games scheduled for 7:05 p.m. starts.
