Clearly, there are as many ideas for hockey smell solutions as there are players. So ,,, here's what works great for me, every time I need to de-stink .. and it's cheap: #1 BEST PRACTICE Always remove all gear as soon as you are home and hang to dry. It takes just one 24 hour hockey bag stink session to contaminate all gear & your bag with odor-causing bacteria.
