The tournament experience can be as smooth as freshly flooded ice with a little planning.<\/p>\n<h3>Hockey tournament weekend survival: gear organization<\/h3>\n<p>First and foremost, you need the team uniform. Your safest bet is to bring anything and everything that has the team logo on it: the \u2018home\u2019 jersey, \u2018away\u2019 jersey, \u2018alternate\u2019 jersey, and so on. Pack plenty of extra clothes, especially undershirts and socks. And, if your young all-star\u2019s equipment is getting a little smelly, check out our tips on <a href=\"https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/2023\/01\/16\/washing-hockey-gear\/\">washing and disinfecting it<\/a> before they hit the ice.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t want to arrive at an out-of-town tournament with only one elbow pad. Take a full inventory of the equipment bag to confirm the presence of each piece, from skates all the way up to the helmet. To avoid accidental mix-ups with teammates, be sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/en-US\/category\/sports-labels?utm_source=Mabelhood&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_campaign=hockey+tournament\">label everything<\/a>.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/en-US\/category\/sports-labels?utm_source=Mabelhood&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_campaign=hockey+tournament\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5268 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/BaseImage-TeamSportsLabelPack-scaled.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/BaseImage-TeamSportsLabelPack-scaled.webp 2560w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/BaseImage-TeamSportsLabelPack-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/BaseImage-TeamSportsLabelPack-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/BaseImage-TeamSportsLabelPack-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/BaseImage-TeamSportsLabelPack-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/BaseImage-TeamSportsLabelPack-1536x1536.webp 1536w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/BaseImage-TeamSportsLabelPack-2048x2048.webp 2048w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/BaseImage-TeamSportsLabelPack-175x175.webp 175w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/BaseImage-TeamSportsLabelPack-450x450.webp 450w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/BaseImage-TeamSportsLabelPack-1170x1170.webp 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Hockey weekend away game survival: food!<\/h3>\n<p>While treats and restaurant food will likely be part of the plan, you\u2019re still trying to fuel your young athlete to perform their best. Balance things out by providing healthy, wholesome foods that you know they will eat. Here are some simple ways to make healthy choices on the road:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Instead of visiting the arena\u2019s concession stand, be ready with a stash of individually wrapped snacks, like granola bars or applesauce pouche<\/li>\n<li>A hotel room with a fridge is a nice bonus, since you can fill it with nutritious options like fresh fruit and yogurt from the grocery store.<\/li>\n<li>Booking a hotel with breakfast included is a smart move. Check the start time, though, as an early game might have you departing before it begins.<\/li>\n<li>Bring a well-insulated cooler, plus a few reusable containers or resealable plastic bags to store food supplies.<\/li>\n<li>Invest in a high quality water bottle that stays cold and doesn\u2019t leak. Use the hotel ice machine to keep it filled and promote good hydration.<\/li>\n<li>If your hardworking player likes sports drinks, save money by buying a multi-pack and bringing a few bottles with you.<\/li>\n<li>Be aware of any food allergies among team members, especially if you\u2019re providing team snacks or planning a group meal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Players personal care!<\/h3>\n<p>You can help maintain everyone\u2019s health and hygiene by bringing along a few key essentials, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Handwashing supplies, such as wipes, hand sanitizer, or liquid soap. These are especially handy when the public washroom\u2019s soap dispenser is (of course) empty.<\/li>\n<li>A \u201cjust in case\u201d bag, customized for your family\u2019s needs with things like basic first aid supplies, scissors, moisturizing lotion, and chewable kids\u2019 pain reliever.<\/li>\n<li>A small bottle of liquid dish soap for washing water bottles, mouth guards or food containers back at the hotel.<\/li>\n<li>A stain-remover stick and travel-size laundry detergent, in case you need to hand-wash anything (pro tip: hang wet items over the shower rod to dry, or use the \u2018clip\u2019 hangers from the hotel room closet).<\/li>\n<li>A pillow from home, so your player can sleep during the drive and get some quality shut-eye in the hotel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Hockey tournament weekend: keeping siblings busy!<\/h3>\n<p>All family members are part of the team, so plan ahead for the sibling(s) on the sidelines. Here are some tips to keep them occupied:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pre-stock an \u2018arena backpack\u2019 with things like books, small toys, card games, and activity pads. Avoid bringing anything special or breakable.<\/li>\n<li>Markers and a spiral notebook are classic choices, so siblings can doodle or make a sign to cheer on the team. They\u2019re also easy to share with other kids looking for something to do.<\/li>\n<li>Scout the venue ahead of time to determine if there is a playground or walking trail where siblings can take a break.<\/li>\n<li>Screen time is a way to reward them for being a good sport on a long day. Don\u2019t forget the charging accessories and a set of headphones! In case the arena wi-fi turns out to be unreliable, it\u2019s wise to pre-download a few episodes of their favorite show.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Self-care for parents!<\/h3>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget about yourself! Here are a few self-care reminders to maintain your sanity:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Map the area around the arena and hotel, and take note of the nearest pharmacy, grocery store and (most importantly) coffee shop.<\/li>\n<li>An away tournament is a great time to redeem restaurant or beverage gift cards that you may have forgotten about, especially since you may be in a different part of town (or in a different city altogether). Treat yourself!<\/li>\n<li>Avoid the stress of feeling \u2018out of the loop\u2019 by bookmarking the tournament website and monitoring the team\u2019s communication app for updates.<\/li>\n<li>Bring a cushion or clip-on bleacher seat for comfort, plus other cozy accessories (blanket, mittens, hat, insulated travel mug) to counteract the chilly arena air.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re into photography or video, have your camera or phone ready to record the action.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your child\u2019s team may not end up hoisting the trophy at the end of the weekend, but we all know that\u2019s not the most important goal anyway. It\u2019s solid advice for hockey kids and their parents \u2014 just do your best and have fun!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5375 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Newsletter-SignUp-Block-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Newsletter-SignUp-Block-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Newsletter-SignUp-Block-300x261.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Newsletter-SignUp-Block-1024x889.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Newsletter-SignUp-Block-768x667.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Newsletter-SignUp-Block-1536x1334.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Newsletter-SignUp-Block-2048x1779.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Newsletter-SignUp-Block-175x152.jpg 175w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Newsletter-SignUp-Block-450x391.jpg 450w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Newsletter-SignUp-Block-1170x1016.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been on the calendar for weeks: the big hockey tournament weekend.
