WOW!! UNBELIEVEABLE THIS PROCESS TAKES THE STINK AWAY!!

PLEASE CLICK HERE AND WATCH A 3 MINUTE VIDEO THAT DEMONSTRATES OUR UNIQUE PROCESS FOR CLEANING AND DE-STINKING YOUR EQUIPMENT

Sanitization and odor removal is revolutionary to hockey take it from me a stinky old hockey player that has played for over 30 years. Who would have thought that you could drop by a hockey shop and in less than 20 minutes have the equipment sanitized and foul odors removed from your complete set of hockey equipment No more soaking equipment in the tub, trying to wash in your washing machine and waiting days for it to dry, or going to one of those expensive wash places.
ERBIE’s Sport Shop offers a fast, no wear and tear sanitizing and deodorizing treatment service for your hockey equipment. We are very different, we are fast (while you wait), inexpensive, and there is no risk of damage to your equipment and increase in harmful bacteria.
Our sani and deodorizing process is unique. It's an all-dry process that literally kills the bacteria and fungus that is living in your equipment, the nasty stuff that causes itching, rashes and infections. At the same time it will eliminate the foul odors your family, friends and teammates are always complaining about.
During the first stage of our treatment process, your equipment is placed in a sealed compartment and totally vaporized with ozone gas. There is no washing, no water, and no drying. This stage of our process is very similar to that used by hospitals to sanitize operating rooms, by health clubs, and used by smoke removal companies to take smoke smells out of fire damaged home furniture. It's a proven method to kill bacteria and remove odors. This step is followed by a complete "fogging" of the equipment with an all natural deodorizer and bacteria shield which helps keep new bacteria from forming during future skates. Lastly, our treatment includes a pleasant smelling all-natural fragrance. Yes, hockey equipment can smell good!
Our process is safe, effective and beneficial for your skin it actually kills the harmfull bacteria that is causing the odors. Ozone is the best method for killing bacteria, Why us? First though, let's look at conveinence. ERBIE’s Sport Shop We are open every day of the week during hockey season, ready when you are. We'll have you in and out with sweet smelling gear in less than 20 minutes.

ERBIE’s Sport Shop makes it easy, one trip to our shop, we do it WHILE YOU WAIT. We make it convenient with a sign up sheet to have the equipment done when you want it we also offer walk in service.

Lastly, another reason we don't recommend the wash process is that it just doesn't make sense to wet wash and use any heat to dry your leather gloves, your skates, helmet and synthetic leather equipment. Washing can loosen glues and breakdown fibres in equipment, and accelerate rust on your helmet hardware, skate rivets, eyelets and blades. Here's what one major hockey equipment manufacturer has to say about washing,.... "DO NOT submerge any item in water because item will most likely not be able to dry properly. Moist areas, that do not dry properly can form bacteria and mildew. Shrinkage is more likely to occur on soaked items as well. A washing machine is not recommended as water pressure can cause premature separation of coatings on external materials." "Equipment should be air dried at room temperature. "DO NOT use heat to dry equipment as this can cause premature, unseen damage to the surface materials and internal padding which will excelerate wear."
Our service has absolutely no wear and tear. It comes out of the machine EXACTLY how it went in, minus the odors and bacteria of course. It's not wet, and water is not trapped inside the equipment waiting to foster growth of new bacteria.


We can sanitize and deodorize most anything!

Our process also works great on other types of sporting equipment; football, ski boots, ski jackets, running shoes, wet suits, martial arts equipment, bullet proof vests, sleeping bags, motorcycle helmets and more.

Please try to air dry your equipment overnight before treatment. Our process does work well on soaking wet gear but for superior results it should be mostly dry.

Facts About Ozone

WHAT IS OZONE? Ozone is NOT a spray! Ozone is a gas. Gases can penetrate any porous object, making them perfect for reaching deep inside hockey equipment. Because gaseous ozone is highly reactive, it readily oxidizes (breaks down) organic matter. When the ozone encounters another compound, one oxygen atom will break away, attach itself to the compound, and oxidize it. Ozone actually breaks down odor-causing compounds, thereby eliminating the odor and changing the ozone back to oxygen (O2). Ozone is the second most powerful sterlilant in the world and its function is to destroy bacteria, viral and odors. Ozone occurs quite readily in nature most often as a result of lightning strikes that occur during thunderstorms. In fact that "fresh, clean, spring rain" smell that we notice after a storm results from nature’s creation of ozone.
HOW DOES OZONE WORK? Ozone kills bacteria by rupturing the cell wall of the offending organism. This action kills the bacteria leaving only harmless waste. After an ozone treatement, the bacteria is destroyed, not left dormant to resurect the odors.

Bacteria, viruses and other pathogens thrive around us and in our hockey equipment. Because the membranes which protect these microbes are constructed with carbon-chain molecules, they are a prime target for the free-radicals produced from ozone. Ozone attacks the microorganisms like a shotgun, bursting their membranes and spilling their contents. The destruction is virtually instant. Ozone annihilates bacteria and viruses 3,000 times faster than chlorine, to many considered a strong disinfectant. Since we know that it is the bacteria that is causing the odors in your equipment, ozone is perfect for this deodorizing process. Competetors may claim that ozone doesn't "wash" away the bacteria, therefore it is ineffective, buy they don't understand how ozone works. The plain truth is, ozone completely destroys the bacteria. There is nothing to wash away. 

Owned and endorsed by numerous NHL teams,
Here's some comments about our process from NHL head equipment managers who have and use a machine like ours. These are not paid endorsements.
Referring to Joe Thornton of the Boston Bruins, and the fact that he has been victimized by serious STAPH infections a number of times, Peter Henderson said: “We bought the machine specifically to try and prevent this type of injury from happening to Joe. It’s been great since we got the Sani Sport in November, he’s had no issues like he used to have”.
Rip Simonick of the Sabres described the Sani Sport as the “main reason for a very significant reduction in skin rashes, infections, etc”. He also noted that because the bacteria was eliminated and not eating away at the equipment, the life span and performance of the equipment was greatly improved.
Doug Shearer of the Capitals maintains that his “players love it and recognize the importance of clean gear in terms of injury prevention”.
Peter Millar of the Kings states that “Bacteria thrives in moisture and heat and we might have been accelerating that process by washing and fan drying our equipment. The Sani Sport has been an excellent addition to our dressing room. We want to be pro active and cut the risk. It’s my job to make sure my players are as protected as possible”.
