Celebrating hockey moms with The House that Mom Built Giveaway

Sports are an integral part of our children’s lives, from learning communication skills to teamwork, growing up as an athlete has its benefits and Mom is there every step of the way. My boys love sports and all the fun stuff that comes along with it. Being part of a team, commitment and dedication, supporting them is sometimes a difficult task. But we as parents are there for our children every minute of every day. Whether it be pond hockey, or practicing for the NHL Canadian moms all know someone who loves hockey and plays. 

On March 17th, P&G launched The House that Mom Built website where Canadians can celebrate minor league Hockey Moms, showing the carpool queen, the tournament manager, the official cheerleader and after-game snack maker how important they are by virtually raising their name in the rafters.

As a cheerleader, coach and mom she takes on many roles – even equipment manager – so Tide, Downy, Febreze, Bounty and Puffs are here to help. To help out all athletes moms, P&G created the ultimate tip sheet to take you from the change room to the laundry room at home and help make caring for your athlete a little easier:

1. Skates are expensive. To save blades from rusting wipe them down after each and every skate but be careful, they’re sharp. Try usingBounty Duratowels which are tough enough to wipe them off. For efficiency, keep a roll in hockey bags.
2. The lingering smell of hockey equipment in the car is only made worse when the heat is turned on high in the winter. To get rid of car odour, try Febreze Car Vent Clip Air Freshener for 30 days of fresh scent.
3. Runny nose after being in the cold arena? Coffee spill in the car? You’ll never have to search for a tissue with Puffs Car Cup – tissues specifically designed to fit in the cup holder of your vehicle.
4. Jerseys and socks soak up the sweat, snacks, beverages, and worst of all, the odour that comes with being an athlete. To keep their uniform looking bright and smelling fresh, throw them in the washing machine with detergent, specially designed for sportswear. Don’t forget to sprinkle in a little love and lasting scent with Downy Unstoppable for freshness that releases as kids move!
5. Wet equipment left in a hockey bag after a game or practice is a breeding ground for odour-causing bacteria. To prevent odour, air out all equipment after every practice and game on a drying rack. After taking the equipment out of the bag, try spraying all equipment (even soles inside the skates) with Febreze Fabric Refresher Extra Strength for long lasting freshness. For a safety net, keep the to-go version in your purse for a burst of freshness anytime.

The site is live for a limited time (until April 13th)—be sure to celebrate a hockey mom in your community before it’s too late.
