As soon as you get home from playing or from practice, make sure you put the gloves somewhere that they can completely dry out on the inside.
If you leave them in your hockey bag... whew.. there's no way they'll smell good when you put them on again. Not to mention, it's a lot nicer to put dry gloves on than damp ones (especially in a cold rink!!!) ;o)
The baby powder idea is okay as long as you shake it out good.. (too much in there could cause the gloves to slip on your hands too much) and before you dry them out, try some Febreeze spray..
Hockey stores sell a special spray for gear.. but it's kind of pricey, and it doesn't really seem to be too different than Febreeze..
Time to DROP THE PUCK! :o)

Not sure about tape residue on a glove palm. I recently used goo gone to remove some tape residue on a stick before re-taping it though. Worked great! Have water / soap handy then wipe away with something it won't cling to. (Household towels r good, as they absorb the wetness. I wouldn't go with a cloth towel because it may leave parts of that on the stick) In the future, stick to white tape, especially on high-wear areas or if you must use coloured tape use it alongside baby powder to help soften it up.

Use some Febreze. It works really well. But alas, after each hockey session, they will get worse no matter what. You just have to deal with it. We all do. If you have a place at your rink where you can get your gear cleaned, you should go there and get ALL your gear cleaned. Trust me, it works for longer than usual.

I rub murphy 's oil (wood cleaner) in palms and then drying them out works but with murphy's oil on, the leather will stay soft. all that other junk lysol fabrrzz is bad news for leather you'll end having cracked leather palms and have to replaces the leather liner.

actually BABY POWDER smells nice while getting rid of the odor and your hands will feel soft and smooth, also if that doesnt work you can go to any sport sore and get a sport equiptment deodorizer ( i use it for my cleats ) that works like a charm ...... good luck and im glad a girl plays hockey!! thats awesome

One of the things that I found worked well was talcum powder whille they were in the equipment bag and letting them air out as soon as you get your equipment home after a game.

I use febreeze afte every game or practice, not only on my gloves, but on all of my equiptment. I highly recommend it and it really reduces the amount of smells.

I dont think there is anything you can do about it - especially if the palms are leather! Smelly gloves is what hockey is all about.... there is nothing like rubbing your sour glove in your opponent's face.. :)
