Ice Hockey is a rough and fun sport that requires a lot of protective sports gear: helmets, shields, masks, pads, neck protectors and still more. When you add this up with your other gear you have amassed an impressive amount of equipment. How do you get all this equipment from your vehicle to the rink without making extra trips? The best way to store and carry all your equipment is by using a duffel bag.

You can pack a duffel bag with an amazing amount of gear if you do it right. Another advantage to duffel bags is that they're easy to carry. The convenience you'll find with duffel bags will shock you. No longer will you leave the rink with 20 pieces of equipment falling out of your hands—instead you'll enjoy the ease of draping the bag over your shoulder. Use your energy on the ice, not carrying your gear.
