Why fueling beats yelling

The 3rd period is where games are won — and where tired legs show up first. Here's the part most parents miss.

Glycogen is the tank

Easy-digest carbs top off muscle glycogen stores before puck drop, so the late-game sprints don't fall apart.

The 3rd period is earned early

That final shift is powered by fueling done hours before. Skipping it isn't an option you can out-skate.

Nervous stomach? Go liquid

The smoothie option pre-digests the macros. Same fuel, zero GI distress on game day.
