Abstract
A mouthguard with a hydration system that combines protection to the users mouth and teeth, with a simple way to drink liquids while engaged in physical sports. The system comprises a mouthguard with a valve, a pressurized canister of fluid, and a tube that connects them together. The normally closed valve holds back the pressurized fluid, and is opened by the user with a push of their tongue. This enables the user to drink while engaged in heavy sports activity, such as ice hockey.
