USA Hockey's Equipment Tips:

• Most equipment can be washed in a household washing machines with regular detergent.  Use the gentle/delicate cycle for shoulder pads, elbow pads, shin pad liners and gloves.  Allow equipment to dry completely, which may take up to 24 hours.  You can use a spray disinfectant daily and thoroughly wash at least every other week.
• Helmets, skates, sticks and shin pad coverings can be cleaned with disinfecting wipes after each use.
• Jerseys, socks and undergarments should be washed after each use.
• Take equipment out of your hockey bag and air dry after each use. 
• Disinfecting wipes and sprays can be purchased in your local grocery stores or markets. These products meet the EPA List N for use against SARS- CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
