The Viking asked Paly Athletes how they keep cozy on the bench during those chilly winter games.

The girls said:

“It gets pretty chilly in the winter time, so I throw on a sweatshirt, some baggy-a** sweatpants, a parka, pull up those high soccer socks and an ear-warmer headband! Then I’m cozy” -Lily Seedman (’12)

“Soccer parkas! And mittens and cuddling!” -Jordan Smith (’13)

“The dance team goes hard and just handles the cold in our uniforms” -Chloe Koseff (’12)

“As girls we [basketball players] keep on our swaggy-a** Nike warm-ups if we get cold on the inside of the gym. And we mainly just keep running up and down the court [to stay warm.]” -Lindsay Black (’12)

“Slippers and rip-off pants feel unbelievably swaggy when you tear [them] off pre-game!” -Bella Graves (’14)

The boys said:

“A [Under Armour Possession] handwarmer with Skittle’s® inside just incase you get a lil’ hungry… oh and you gotta put the little handwarmer sacks in the [football] handwarmer too” -Andrew Frick (’14)

“What Frick said. But he didn’t actually do it. Also a beanie if you aren’t playing anymore. Long-sleeve compression shirts” -Gabe Landa (’12)

“Wopo robes” -Kian McHugh (’14)

“Kian also likes to snuggle with the next guy down on our bench” -Aaron Zelinger (’12)

“Borrow [Bret Pinsker’s (’13) water polo] robe” -Sam Kelley (’14)

“Varsity soccer jackets with our names [and numbers] on them!” -Paul Stefanski (’13)

“Long-sleeve Nike warm-up and a Gatorade® towel” -Israel Hakim (’12)
