What’s a small thing you learned that improved your quality of life as a hockey player?

This can be anything that helped you in some way on or off the ice. Maybe a warm up routine, maybe an equipment hack, maybe something for your recovery.

I'll start: if you can, get quality gloves. I used to just get the cheapest I could find, and within months they'd have holes in the palms and fingers. Once I actually spent a little extra for better quality, they've lasted a lot longer and offered better protection.
