Every few months, especially ice season, we see messages on the boards and face book about gear that has been found or someone lost. Remember, it is pretty easy to take a sharpie marker and write your name and phone number on you gear. Black or silver should easily write on any thing you need.
Will that ensure it will be returned to you? No, but it sure makes it easier for someone to find you if they would like to. Something that is very easy to do could be what saves your season.
Something to think about. (hint, hint wink, wink)
