Whether it’s open hockey, pickup hockey or a real game, nobody likes an ice hog. Keep your shifts short, skate hard and let everyone have their fair share of ice time!
We are working on some short videos about pickup hockey and in the process had a photographer come out and take some fun pics of us. Here are just a couple…I think they turned out great!
Every Sunday evening at the Victoria Recreation Center Ice Arena you’ll find a group of adult hockey players enjoying a fun, friendly game of pickup hockey. This newly formed group of players are using www.hockeyfinder.com to help manage and promote their game. Play once, play every week…it’s up to you.
Skill Level: Level 4 – Intermediate to Advanced
Notes: GOALIES ARE FREE. BRING A WHTIE AND A DARK JERSEY OUT TO THE ICE WITH YOU, WE WILL THROW STICKS AT THE BEGINNING TO FIND TEAMS

I had the pleasure of speaking to Steve Silver the owner of Montreal-based Sani Sport about their patented sani sport system. I play hockey at least 3 times per week so trying to keep my gear clean is a challenge. I always air out my equipment, hang it up and spray it with Sudden Death Odor Eliminator. In addition I put a fan on it or during the summer hang it outside (Sorry neighbors). This all is good but I’ll be the first to admit that it’s not enough. I’ve heard of other machines but when I got a call asking me to chat with Steve I was very interested to hear what he had to say.
First of all, I was amazed to learn that over 75 professional teams use the system and it’s endorsed by the NHL as well as USA hockey. Secondly, I found it nice to know that all the product components are made in North America. Finally, it looks like it’s the real deal. I haven’t been able to try it out yet but when I do I’ll update this post.
FEATURES of the Sani Sport system:
1. Accommodates one large set of hockey or
football equipment
2. Extremely durable stainless steel provides
rugged construction
3. Caster wheels provide easy mobility
4. Dimensions: 23″ deep X 45″ wide x 67″ high
5. Cycle time is only sixteen minutes !
6. No piping, drains or external hookups
Where can you find one of these machines?
Well you can either buy one…they sell for approx. $13,795 each or you can email them with your location and ask for the closest retailer. I was excited to learn that there were a few places in the Twin Cities that have the machine. One of the sports shops who does is Strauss Skates and Bicycles. Steve told me they will have a full list of retailers on their website in the near future.
