Vacation your hockey bag

Summer winds down and school starts soon. Hopefully parents, players, and even coaches had some down time to enjoy the weather and rest up for the next round of lacrosse and hockey. Too much of anything is usually not good. Everybody needs a break to ensure growth mentally and physically. Believe it or not there is a lot more going on in the world than just sports. Hard to believe, but it's true. Recharge the batteries, hit the beach, do some fishing, read some good books, sit around a campfire, anything not related to hockey or lacrosse. Vacation should be a time to avoid burnout. If you must do some kind of sporting activity go play tennis, play some baseball, shoot some hoop. Just give your hockey and lacrosse helmets a chance to air out. In fact it wouldn't be a bad idea to let your gear dry out. Even if it's only for a few weeks - just don't leave your gear in the car.
