Pond Hockey

[Hockey]

In February I am going to be playing in the New England Pond Hockey Classic where the tempatures are going to well below 0. Being from Vancouver we aren't used to that kind of weather, but most of you are.

So I wanted to ask, what is something good to wear underneath my gear that will keep me warm?

Anyone wondering here is the link to this tournament

This tournament is very popular and they have it cut off at 200 teams and have a huge waitlist. Our team is going to get destroyed, because we are playing in the pro division because my brother and one of his buddies have played pro. My Dad, cousin, and Uncle are also on the team.

I don't know if my dad is being serious or not, but he says some former Bruins alumni sometimes play in this tournament, so that be cool if I got to line up against Terry O'Reilly and then take his knees out.

Do base layers - thermal underwear - Fleece - Windbreaker if you are really concerned about it. Once you start playing you can take off the fleece because you will warm up. As you have to wear a helmet according to the rules pick up one of the lululemon running toques which will actually keep your head from freezing and will fit under your helmet with no problems at all.

Bring a couple of extra layers of thermals because you will start to sweat and afterwards you will freeze if you have nothing to change into. Also get some hot pockets - not for your hands but for your skates if you have to leave them outside pop them into your skates half an hour before you take to the ice and they will have thawed enough for you to comfortably put your feet into them, cold skates suck.

Honestly once you get playing you really will not notice the cold. I play Shinny outside all the time and after 20 minutes I'm taking off layers.

Well below zero is nothing! Crazy people from Van...you will probably be good in basic hockey gear until -10....after that some small gloves under your hockey gloves a toque and maybe a double layer of socks.
