Hockey Products we Recommend
Hockey Net
- We did a review of the EZ goal fold up hockey net and found it was a quality net for the price. This is likely the best net you will get for around $100. With a hard shot (over 70MPH) you will be able to dent the posts, but I have had the net for a year now and it still holds up. The posts have a lot of dents from my 100 slapshot a day phase, but the net is still standing and I am still shooting on it. If you want to buy a hockey net and see our video review visit our EZ goal hockey net review
Hockey Shooting Pad
- If you are practicing for hockey one training aid that is a MUST HAVE is a shooting pad. With a good sized pad you can practice your shooting and stickhandling whenever you want. I highly recommend the roll-up shooting pad and if you want something smaller then check out the hockey shooting pad
Green Biscuit
- I have reviewed a lot of off-ice pucks and the only one that I really liked was the Green Biscuit, it is far better than any other off-ice puck because it slides without flipping up and rolling around. I use the Green biscuit all the time on rough surfaces, and I always use them on the shooting pads to practice stickhandling. I definitely recommend this product and suggest you buy a few at a time to save on shipping. If you want to buy one, and see our full review visit our Green Biscuit review page.

I’m Christmas shopping for my 11 year old son in his 8th year of hockey. I am not sure what the primary difference is in the extreme passing kits…the bungee cord one or the one timer passer. They both look great and cost the same…which one would you recommend as a training tool for a Pee Wee player?
Thanks so much!
Danielle
Which do you like more the dryland flooring tiles or the shooting pad? Also which one slides better?
Thanks!
febreze! buy yourself a drying rack, hang the gear, spritz with some febreze and voila! presto! BAM! fresher smelling gear. works for skates and under armour as well!! hope i helpd ya out dur buddddyyyyyyyyyyy!:):):)
I recently bought a medium size shooting board but most of the time, the puck does not slide well and flips around too much. Does anyone have any solutions? (something to get the puck to slide better on my shooting board)
spray or sprinkle something like pledge, or wood polish or oil. just a thin layer. simply spray, wipe, and use. remember to not wipe it clean, just to get the extra residue off the surface. when theres too much on the board, thee puck wilnt slide, itll just stick like the puck does when theres water on the ice. just wipe and sue, simple 3 steps that you havent gotta do vurry oftennnnn:) hope i helped ya out dur buddy!
Hi,
I have a cheap solution for eliminating stinky equipment. I mix a half and half solution of 99% pure isopropyl (purchased from Costco cheap) and either tap water or if you like distilled water. I spray my gear after each game and it basically disinfects all my equipment. The downside is that if you have a short turnaround time your gear will still be wet. Since I place my gear in the boiler room in my house it dries pretty quickly. If your gear has developed a smell that doesn’t go away after a single treatment then do it again and that should do it.
Oh, it’s also great for your stinky running shoes and the stinky mat where your dog sleeps.
Good Luck,
Bentley.
Hi Jeremy.I was going to ask you a off topic question.When I take a slapshot the puck doesnt go high ,fast,or far.I am scared of breaking my stick.Is it me or something else?
When you take your slapshot you want to have firmness with the stick. But you must be taking the slapshot correctly. If you feel like you are breaking your stick buy a bundle of wood sticks to shoot with and beat the snot of them and when you finnaly get it down use a composite stick and you should see your slapshot ripple right through the air
that happens to me too i want it to go top corner sometimes or just high but it doesnt happen i check out the slap shot accuracy thing but didnt help!!
Hi Jeremy, I saw your review of the hockey shot dryland flooring tiles and was thinking about decking out my garage with them. but i was wondering if you could use roller hockey skates on them? in the video you said you can’t skate on them but i assume you meant ice skate.
Cheers
Alex
I haven’t personally roller bladed on the tiles, but I did see an entire roller rink set up using them so I assume they are fine. I would suggest soft wheels though! I still have the tiles, but I do not have any roller blades. I might buy some and test it out for the summer.
Alright Jeremy I read your comment via email and ill do the review ASAP ill email you when the video is complete and you can watch it and tell me if its a product worth purchasing.
I found a good hockey bag with a heat cleaner, basically it’s big shock doctor bag and it has an attachment hole on the side were the pockets would normally be. You just leave your hockey equipment in the bag plug in the heat cleaner and it does its job, the name of the bag is the “shock doctor power dry” you can buy the bag for $100 and the dryer for $50 not so sure if that’s still the price but if you want i can put a review of it on my youtube channel so you guys can check it out! Let me know
Hello Team
I am very new and green to playing hockey and am very excited to get on the ice this year for the first time. I have been on your site the last couple of weeks watching the videos which i thought were very helpful. I practice the drills in my living room while staring at the tube.
Since i am new to hockey i was curious about how to care for my * NEW * gear that i would like to smell like new for a long as possible ( Impossible from what i read online).
Thanks for all the info and videos and will spread the word !
Michael
Well… there is great debate about how to keep the equipment smelling fresh, and the short version is… you can’t.
My best recommendation is to wash what you can, when you can. Some guys wash their gear (socks, jersey, jock, under armour) after every game. I usually do it every 2 or 3 games, but it gets a pretty bad stink by 3 games.
From what I have heard the #1 culprit of stink is sweat, and bacteria, so try not to leave your equipment damp and warm for too long or you will get bacteria, and maybe even mould.
One guy I play with says he puts his gear in front of a dehumidifier after every game and it works wonders. I have yet to try it, and I wouldn’t recommend doing it in a house, that would make the whole place smell
Good luck!
