Shipping Hockey Sticks

If a stick bag isn't available, the most cost-effective approach is to wrap the stick in furniture wrap and then securely cover it with bubble wrap. Another option is to create a corrugated box that fits the stick. It's recommended to still wrap the stick in furniture wrap and bubble wrap before placing it inside the box.

For maximum protection, the safest method is to construct a plywood box that fits the stick perfectly, ensuring it remains fully protected. Additionally, shipping multiple sticks together can make them stronger and less prone to damage.

Shipping Pads, Skates, and Helmets

For the safest and most efficient way to ship hockey pads and skates, pack your gear in an appropriately sized equipment bag; neither too small to avoid pressure nor too large to prevent movement that could cause damage. Always protect skate blades with skate guards or wrap them securely in bubble wrap.

Use shoulder pads and hockey pants as a base layer for cushioning, and position shin pads along the sides for added structure. Place the remaining gear on top, ensuring helmets and skates are well-padded. Proper packing minimizes damage risk and ensures your equipment arrives safely.
