I have two sons who are heavily involved in ice hockey.
They each have practices nearly every evening during the week as well as games on the weekends.
The two of us often travel across numerous states as well as up into Canada for tournaments. Their intensive schedule means that I spent a lot of time resting in ice rinks! Even in the off-season, they men participate in conditioning as well as skills camps… For the sake of keeping the ice frigid as well as hard, the temperature of the rink is kept no higher than 63 degrees with entirely low humidity levels. It feels enjoy resting inside a freezer. In the winter, I am already bundled up in heavy jackets as well as my wool coat. I make sure to consistently bring a sew hat, gloves, scarf as well as a hot blanket into the stands with me. I rest directly beneath the electric radiant heaters. Although they glow red, as if they are severely hot, they supply little in the way of warmth. Sitting on frigid metal bleachers makes the situation much worse. Once the session on the ice is over, all of us end up in our frigid frigid car. I blast the furnace on maximum capacity as well as by the time all of us arrive home, it’s putting out hot air. In the summer, all of us run the cooling system in the automobile on the way to as well as from the rink. I dress in shorts. When all of us arrive at the rink, I put on long pants, jackets as well as my full Winter time gear. I wrap in the blanket, find a working radiant furnace as well as shiver the whole time.
