Custom Bag of the Week: Canyon View Dentistry and Mallards Hockey

At 43° Sports, we love when clean gear, community, and health all show up in the same project. This week’s Custom Bag of the Week does exactly that through a partnership between Canyon View Dentistry and Mallards Hockey in Colorado.

Canyon View Dentistry is led by Dr Cara McCallum Ashley, who built her practice with a clear mission. Provide exceptional dental care for families in Littleton and surrounding communities and make every visit feel less stressful and more personal.

Dr Ashley studied Biological Sciences at Marquette University before completing dental school at Baylor College of Dentistry. She brings broad clinical experience in family and emergency care, and she places a high value on building real connections with patients so they can feel confident in their smiles.

Away from the office, she spends time snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, playing soccer, and playing hockey. That last part matters here. She knows firsthand that hockey gear is often cold, wet, and dirty, and that bacteria and smell are part of the reality for many players and families.

Mallards Hockey started in 1991 when Tom Smith wanted a simple place to play hockey with good people. What began as a local skate with friends has grown into a welcoming adult hockey community where players of all levels can find their place on the ice.

Over the years, Mallards has seen brand new skaters take their first strides and former NHL players join the flock. It is proof that great hockey is not just about a resume. It is about love for the game and the people you share the ice with.

Mallards runs coed leagues, tournaments, skills sessions, and off ice events.

The focus is always the same:
• Strong culture
• Good organization
• A sense of fun

That combination also means a lot of late nights, long days, and gear that spends a lot of time in bags, cars, and garages.

Both Canyon View Dentistry and Mallards care about long term health for the players and families they serve. They know that hockey equipment collects sweat and moisture, which creates a perfect environment for bacteria deep inside pads, gloves, and skates.

Traditional air drying or tossing gear back into a standard bag does not solve the root problem. Bacteria remains, odor builds, and over time that can affect both health and equipment life.

The 43° Hockey Bag is built to fix that. It is not just a dryer. It is a temperature and humidity controlled sanitizing system designed specifically for hockey gear. The system raises the temperature and drops humidity inside the bag to levels that kill bacteria and prevent it from multiplying.

Independent testing has shown up to a 96% reduction in odor causing bacteria when using the 43° Hockey Bag compared to traditional methods.

Less bacteria means more than less odor. It supports healthier players, fewer skin issues and illnesses, and equipment that lasts longer.

For this Custom Bag of the Week, Canyon View Dentistry and Mallards Hockey created a full custom build

• 43 Degree Hockey Bag with Canyon View and Mallards branding
• Canyon View logo featured on the left panel
• Mallards logo featured on the right panel
• Player name and number printed across the top of the bag

Players can drop in their cold, wet gear after a late game or practice, plug in the bag, and know that by the next day their equipment will be clean, warm, and dry.

The mouth guard shown in the feature is my personal custom mouth guard made by Canyon View Dentistry. They can create fully custom guards with your name, logo, or any design you want.

When you mention 43° Sports at Canyon View Dentistry, you can design your own custom mouth guard for 69 dollars instead of the usual 289, which is roughly 75 percent off. It is a powerful way to protect your smile while matching the level of care you give your gear.

The Canyon View and Mallards project is one example of how the 43 Degree Hockey Bag can be part of a larger story.

We partner with:

• Pro and Semi-Pro Teams and Players
• Adult leagues and local hockey communities
• Youth and high school programs
• Charities and foundations
• Dental and medical practices
• Tournaments and special events

Every custom build starts with the same core science backed system, then we layer in logos, colors, names, and numbers to match your identity.

Clean gear starts with science. The rest is about community.
