Non-hockey hockey gear? What's in your bag

[BrockSamson 0]

I'm sure there are existing threads about this but I have no clue what to search for so....

What kind of equipment/items do you guys use or think that a new player should have that aren't necessarily hockey related. For example shower sandals, towels, soap/shampoo, mesh/clothes bags, or other things that aren't skates or pads or anything but still esssential for a player to have with them in their hockey bag.

always have a stick of deoderant, a phillips head screwdriver (for those quick lid fixes) and a pocket knife or scissors.

and now-a-days hopefully a six pack!

I keep a small bottle of Listerine in case I need to rinse my mouthpiece, and GU Brew for my water bottle. Great electrolyte sports drink, minus the junk (i.e. Gatorade) and the occasional energy gel for those nights where the rink worker leaves us out there for a while.

Hmm thanks for all the replies. Sorry to not get back yet, been kinda sick. Lots of good advice though. Never would have thought about the carpet but I think now I'm gonna have to find a small towel I can use because it's a good idea!

Definitely one of these just in case I forget the regular one in the wash.

Will I regret asking this? What is a "carved soap shank"? Or did I miss the joke?
