After years of use, the old bag has seen it's better days. I'm looking for a gear bag for coaching (ref bag would work too). I'd like compartments for my skates and some storage/pockets for personal items (wallet, phone, etc.) to keep those items separate from hockey "stuff" like tape, laces, etc. I'd be carrying skates, gloves, helmet, warmups, change of clothes I have a separate bag for pucks, so I don't need to store those in the bag. I would NOT be traveling with this bag so "airline approved" is not important. Any suggestions? A carry bag, NOT one with wheels.

As some states begin to reopen, is anyone aware of a list of rinks that are beginning to reopen? Or perhaps more appropriate would be a list of states that are allowing their rinks to reopen? Some are already open, at least for private rentals. From what it looks like, the states are allowing the rinks to open and then eventually USA Hockey (or other) governing bodies will allow their sanctioned events to begin to occur...followed by the the local organizations approving. But in the mean time, private rentals are getting started.

Anyone "travel" with the Sparx? Did you buy the case from them, or get something on your own? They want $399 for theirs and I can pick up a Pelican case for half the price. Thoughts?

This is my motivation too...the convenience and assurance I have access to sharp blades. I've had more than one occasion where I lose an edge Saturday night at Men's league and then have to be on the ice for a sunday AM practice before the pro shop opens. The other option is multiple sets of steel, but then I'm still relying on the random kid at the pro shop to give me a good edge. Good luck...

Does the guy on the left (your right) have electrical tape on his socks? What a douche.
