The Cold, Hard Truth About Hockey Skate Stink
You know the smell.
That special kind of stink that hits you like a slap shot the second you unzip your gear bag. It’s not just sweat—it’s what happens when moisture, heat, and bacteria mix inside your skates, creating a legendary level of funk.
You could try to ignore it. You could air them out after every game, hope for the best, and pretend your gear bag isn’t slowly becoming a biohazard.
Or… you could actually fix the problem.
🏒 The Game Plan for Stink-Free Skates
🔥 Step 1: Accept That Your Skates Are the Problem
Look, your jersey might get sweaty, but your skates? They trap moisture, locking in odors like a vault. That’s why your bag smells like something died in it.
🔥 Step 2: Bring in the Big Guns (AKA RANK Spray)
Airflow helps, but it’s not enough. You need a real defense strategy. Here’s how to stop the stink before it takes over:
✔ Remove the insoles (if they’re removable) – This is where a lot of moisture hides.
✔ Spray RANK Spray directly inside the skates – Hit every corner, especially the toe box.
✔ Let them air out overnight – Give the spray time to neutralize the odors before your next game.
🔥 Step 3: Keep It Consistent
One and done won’t cut it. Make RANK Spray part of your post-game routine, and you’ll never have to worry about your skates clearing out the locker room again.
