When Your Skates Are the Real Opponent
Hockey skates go through battle every time you hit the ice. They’re built for speed, precision, and power—but unfortunately, they’re also built for stink.
Packed with sweat, moisture, and bacteria, your skates become a perfect storm of funk after every practice and game. By mid-season, the smell is so bad it clings to your gear bag, your car, and maybe even your soul.
The worst part? Ignoring it only makes it worse. That trapped moisture breaks down materials faster, meaning your expensive skates won’t just smell terrible—they’ll wear out faster, too.
How to Stop the Stink Before It Takes Over
Skate funk doesn’t have to be a permanent part of your game. With the right routine, you can eliminate the odor and keep your skates fresh all season long.
✔️ Dry Them Out – The #1 cause of stink? Trapped moisture. After every game or practice, remove your insoles and air out your skates to stop bacteria from thriving.
✔️ Spray Them Down – Apply RANK Spray inside your skates, focusing on the toe box, heel, and tongue—the areas that soak up the most sweat.
✔️ Don’t Forget the Bag – Your skates might be fresh, but if your gear bag smells like a swamp, the stink will come right back. A few sprays of RANK Spray inside the bag keep it from turning into an odor incubator.
