I throw bottles of iced,filtered water into my bag to take to games.The water in some gyms,dressing rooms,etc. can be awful putrid and you can't depend on the home team supplying you anything.I fill up 3 bottles about 1/3 full with filtered water and keep them in the freezer.Before a game that is a short haul away,I take 'em out,fill 'em up to the top and throw them in a separate compartment in my bag.Gives you ice-cold water to drink at half-time,etc.The water usually will keep cool for at least 3 hours while the ice melts.I usually stash a bottle somewhere around the scorers table at the start of each half.When I get a chance during a break in the action,I go for it.Btw,please do not respond by quoting proper mechanics to me re:the proper place to stand during TO's,between periods,etc.Proper mechanics do not apply to thisty,old referees in the twi-light of a mediocre career.
