Hi Braeden! I'm a 40 year old father of 3 boys (10 yo twins and a 3 yo.) I'm a career firefighter with a Bachelor's in Meteorology (worked on TV for 5 years.) Like you, I've been in hockey my whole life. Unlike you, not at the pro level. Still trying to live the dream via beer league! I consider myself what is referred to in the first responder world as a "tactical athlete ". Several years ago I made a promise to myself to do whatever it is I can to optimize my flexibility, range of motion, and strength, while also maximizing whatever I can do to prevent injury in my job. One of the benefits of my job is early retirement- I want to be able to fully enjoy it! In the consummate example of someone who constantly makes themself an experiment (ie Tim Ferriss). I try a lot, measure, and when it works I put it into my routine/diet/workout regimen etc. If it doesn't work for me, at least I know! Two years ago at the biggest firefighter conference in the country, I discovered palmar cooling. I immediately dove deep into the research. Where I learned it from had a product that was expensive and clunky. Sure it works, but not how I would like to use it. I'm looking for in-workout gains, but where I've had the greatest success is with recovery post-firefighting training. Being encapsulated raises your core temp so much more than any traditional workout, and it takes a toll. I experimented with a cheaper alternative and it WORKS! Then you entered the space and provided the PERFECT answer to my needs. I cannot wait for mine to arrive and test and spread the word!

@Braeden Ostepchuk I'm in! I truly believe in the benefits and want to spread the word as much as I can. Would be glad to help out however you see fit!
