As summer winds down, local rinks are shifting into full hockey mode with training camps and practices set to begin for young players across the region.
Parents preparing for the season may want to take a few tips from Peterborough Petes equipment manager Brian Miller, who has been busy ensuring all the team’s gear is in game shape.
He also notes that some equipment has a shelf life and can wear out over time, making it important to check pads, helmets, and skates before hitting the ice.
To avoid unnecessary stress, Miller encourages parents to do these equipment checks at home rather than waiting until the first game or practice.
By taking a little time now, you can help ensure young players hit the ice safely and comfortably, ready for the season ahead.
