๐จ๐Hey Youth Hockey Families...๐๐จ
Our top 5 things to do before leaving for the tournament!
๐จ๐๐ฅ
๐๐จ
๐นHave your skates sharpened before you leave for the tournament.
๐น Pack the equipment, air it out to dry first, then go through it, ensuring you have every piece, including the mouth guard and stick. Make a checklist starting from top to bottom or bottom to top and be sure you have it all!
๐นBYOB and BYOS
Bring your own Breakfast! - Having the quick on-the-go breakfast your player likes can be a game-changer.
Bring your own Snacks!
Having some healthy snacks you enjoy can keep you full throughout the day.
๐นPack extra clothing! Having to wear wet, sweaty clothes all weekend can be a drag.
๐นKnow your way to the RINK and Go EARLY!
Upload the map to the rink before you head to the tournament. Double-check the start time for your first game and head to the rink with lots of extra time! Giving yourself extra time helps in case of traffic, or getting lost, and eases the anxiety of the tournament start.
We hope you enjoy our top 5 tips to prep for a great tournament! Be sure to save this post.
There is one other colossal tournament tip, and that is to have FUN!!
