Team sports wise, I just played soccer, so no showering issue for me. But for hockey... have you seen/smelled the normal equipment? I'm not totally sure that laundering extra clothing is part of the lexicon of those playing hockey.
The player just plays and then their stuff is often magically in the state they need for the next game.
I totally agree though. If I do an activity that requires a shower, I often will arrange my day in a manner where I rinse at best plus launder extra clothes and do a shower at home (ie: workout, swimming etc.). If my wife drags me to a spa day and there's a need to, then I'll do the shower to get rid of the oils to avoid my clothes soaking that stuff up. But I do my thing efficiently and get out.
I don't get the concept of people slowly meandering around the locker room and socializing like I see in overseas public baths. Even then, out there, I don't typically notice people socializing or grooming in the change area. I've always wondered if people doing that in a locker room do that at home. It seems like a super weird and inefficient preening routine to have.
