Leaving your hockey equipment in the vehicle overnight when it's -20 or 25C and your were concerned about it gettin stolen?


Let me point out how I phrased that... THE goalie equipment... Saturday I was returning the equipment to our usual goaltender. It was his shins and groin that were going to be exposed to the cold pads. Besides, since we play outdoor (anyone remember outdoor ice?) warm equipment just delays the inevitable.

I always bring my hockey bag in during the winter just to warm up and dry out the contents.


Oh, it's brought in and dried... that's the great part about having a crawlspace right next to the furnace... the mechanical room smells like gently warmed crotch for a while. But the equipment is always cleaned and dried.
