Ice Hockey Bags and Sticks

A full hockey bag is bulkier than most large suitcases even though it counts in a similar way in the luggage system — treat it as at least two units, and possibly more depending on how full it is, when working out whether your chosen category has room. One player with a full bag and a stick is already a meaningful chunk of a Standard car's budget; more than two players' worth of gear usually points to SUV / XL or Minibus.

A stick's length is the issue, not its weight or bulk — mention how many sticks and roughly their length when you book, the same way you would for skis or a rod tube, so it's confirmed the car can accommodate them before pickup.

For a full team travelling together, Minibus is usually the right starting point given both passenger count and the volume of gear — eight seats and an 18-unit luggage budget. It's still worth giving a rough total bag and stick count in the notes so it's confirmed rather than assumed.

A tournament trip often means the whole squad arriving together with full kit for several games, which is exactly the situation Minibus is built for — enough seats and enough luggage room that nobody's gear ends up on a lap for the ride to the hotel or rink. Book it as one trip for the group rather than splitting into multiple smaller cars where the numbers allow it.
