In the summer of 2007, Super Clean got a call from Las Vegas requesting that it disinfect Eddie Del Grosso's hockey equipment. Del Grosso, a young, healthy college hockey player suffered during his offseason from a close call with Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA - a nasty staph infection that is plaguing athletes from a variety of sports. The University of Nebraska at Omaha defenseman had to undergo surgery to open up and clean out wounds on his hip and both of his hands, an ordeal that prevented Del Grosso from doing any kind of physical activity for about six weeks. Del Grosso had to make up all the time lost from his conditioning, but is now strong, healthy and succeeding as an important member of his hockey team. The Las Vegas native has been named CCHA defenseman of the week twice in the past month, and he has eight points in his last six games. And as part of a lesson learned, Del Grosso cleans his gear regularly as part of an overall program to stay healthy. To read more, click here.
