I'm looking for something to give me a nice energy boost during hockey. I dont really want any energy drinks because they typically give me the shakes, so I heard about this Power Gel stuff. It seems like it may do the trick. Anyone have any experience with it?

Refer to a popular Eric Clapton song, using it will give you the energy boost you require.

Never used Power Gel, but when I was cycling a lot I used Gu during my rides. IMHO, not the greatest thing in the world to squeeze a packet of toothpaste in your mouth, but it definitely works. Banana Blitz is a good flavor :thumbsup:

Yeah, Gu looks to be the same type of product. Maybe I'll give it a try tonight at my game

Oh yeah, if you get the shakes, some places (cycling shops for sure) will carry a caffeine-free Gu also. Lots of simple sugars, no shakes :beer:

Ehh...I don't know. I would assume they do, but I would give them a call first to see if they carry it. Any local cycling shop should have it.

if your tired but still want to spend a weekend out drinking, do a couple of power gel bombs.

Squeeze the gel into a shot of jager and chug.
