Anyone else shocked to glance at the calendar and see that we are less than a month away from Christmas day? Wow – where does the time go?
I have some of my shopping finished, I have Paul’s present, a present for my brother, one for my sister-in-law, but I still have quite a few things to get, so I have been busy putting together my shopping list.
I thought I would help you with some of your shopping by giving you ten gift ideas for hockey players. Check it out…
Top 10 Gift Ideas For Hockey Players
- Shooting Tarp (skaters) – this is the exact tarp that I purchased this off-season to use on the ice with a couple of the pro skaters I train. The durability was outstanding and it really forced the shooters to pick their corners carefully. RevCon Approved Shooting Tarp
- Sweet Hands Stick Handling (skaters) – this is another one that is RevCon approved for use on the ice and also indoors. I used it with all players at all levels during this off-season with great results. There is no reason your stick handling can’t be better when you can use a tool like this anywhere – StickHandling Trainer
- Brand NEW (goalies) – Goalie Stretch Solution follow along flexibility video. This is such a new product that I have not even officially launched it yet, but I think it might make a great Christmas gift. This is a follow along flexibility program for hockey goalies – so you watch the video and follow along with me as we go through the stretching routine. As usual there are also a bunch of bonuses added in and I am introducing it for only $7.95 – The NEW Goalie Stretch Solution
- Fashion Forward (skaters & goalies) – The Hockey Lace Belt – I think this one is so cool, it is a must for any hockey player – makes a great stocking stuffer – http://www.hockeylacebelt.com/
- For the reader on your list (skaters & goalies) I have a couple of books that you might want to check out. The first one in my opinion is a classic The Game by Ken Dryden. My next suggestion I give a little reluctantly, since I was never a fan of this guys play, but I did actually see him in my local Costco signing copies of JR: My Life As The Most Outspoken, Fearless, Hard Hitting Man In Hockey by the ever-so-humble Jeremy Roenick – I am going to guess this is not going to be the best gift for a kid.
- The gift that keeps giving (skaters & goalies) – if you have a player on your list who is serious about becoming a better player week after week and month after month, then you might want to consider a membership to a Workout-of-the-Month Club (like a beer of the month club, but good for you). Skaters should check out Hockey Workout Club and goalies need Goalie Workout Club
- The Hockey News (skaters & goalies) – I love getting magazine subscriptions for a gift – it is like Christmas every month when the new issue is delivered to my mailbox – share the joy – give a subscription to The Hockey News
- Hat Trick Toque (skaters & goalies) – these fleece toques (that’s winter hat for those of you outside of Canada) are fashioned to look like a hockey helmet – a must for any fan – Hat Trick Helmet Toque
- Train anywhere (skaters & goalies) with this resistance band kit. It has about 5 grades of resistance and you can combine bands to add even more overload. It comes with a door anchor, handles and ankle straps (so you can strengthen those adductors and abductors). Throw it all into the handy carrying bag and you away you go – never miss another workout – all for under $20 – Workout Anywhere Resistance Bands
- For someone you don’t like that much – just kidding (skaters & goalies). This foam roller is wicked and by wicked I mean painfully awesome! It takes a little getting used to, but if the hockey player on your list could use a little more flexibility, then put this one on your list – Foam Roller Extreme
Hope this helps you with your shopping ideas – or maybe you could just forward the list to everyone who will be shopping for you and make their job that much easier, I am sure they would appreciate it.
Have a great day.
Cheers,
