Anyone who has had to play 2 games in one day in a tourney has had to battle the issue of wet skates & wet gloves I am on the ice alot between reffing and playing and am looking for a skate dryer.  I use a hair dryer to dry them quickly but I find that leaves them hard and crunchy almost inside.

 

If anyone has any suggestions or links to where I can get a quality skate dryer & glove dryer that would be great !

The rocket dryer looks to be pretty cool, never tried it though...

Dude, it works wonders. Little fan inside of it blows skates/gloves dry in no time. $20 at Menards.

I use the sports dryer and it works flawless and takes the smell out. It's not that big and can be disasembelled in 30 seconds. It also has a travel bag. I would recommend it 10 out of 10 times.

I put everything in there including my helmet.

I splurged a few years ago and bought a Shock Doctor one with the dual-port attachment.

 

Works great, but I only use it on air-only (no heat). I also only use it for times when I play twice a day or back-to-back days. Works for gloves, skates.

 

I use an E700 helmet, so I replace pads in that one when I play multiple games in a row.

 

For my other gear, I just put the items in front of a box fan between.
