Cleaning up pucks, a Canadian women’s hockey tradition Globe_Sports
Pushing your chairs back under the table after a meal and uniformly tucking your helmet under the same arm as your teammates while standing on the blueline is just what you do.So is picking up the pucks in and around the net and putting them in the bucket at the end of every pregame warm-up.
Now Canada’s assistant coach at the world championship in Espoo, Finland, Caroline Ouellette says it was always clear to her from her first game in 1999 to her last in 2015 that if she was among the last players to leave the warm-up ice, those pucks had to be put away. Davidson confirmed cleaning up pucks when you’re done with them has been an unspoken rule passed from one generation to the next on the team.
A product of the national team herself, Kingsbury says little habits are the glue that hold a team together.
