I usually get to the arena about an hour before face off. I like to drink a PowerAide while I am stretching out and getting dressed. I have it more or less timed so it is gone before I leave the locker room.

I usually have a large and small water bottle on the back of the net. Before I started drinking the PowerAide in the locker room, I would burn through both bottles... now I usually have a little left in both
