Best Hockey Bags

Here at IW Hockey, our mission is to help you find the best hockey bag for your travel and locker room experience. With so many hockey bags to choose from, we split them into five categories; Carry, Wheeled, Gear Backpacks, Youth, and Goalie Bags. Each category has one hockey bag ranked best 'Overall Performance' and the other ranked as 'Best Value'. Overall Performance is chosen based on best durability and features while Best Value includes affordability as one of the factors.
