Looking for hockey stick case for air travel

[85albert]

Anyone know if they make a hard shell type case for hockey sticks?
If so, who sells these?

I need to find a hard case that is airline friendly and one that will protect the sticks while they are "handled" by the luggage handlers.


Thanks!

I'm wondering if a case designed for skiis might work- ie if it would be wide enough at the stick blade.

and it has to be a hard case? i don't know all the kinds out there, but the hockey players that i know use a soft case when they have flown (not game flying, but personal flying). they were like a nylon fabric but had some padding in it -- similar to like a laptop case. would something like this be sufficient?

not necessarily hockeymonkey (but i've always had good luck with them). but these have a blade pocket for protection. if you wanted extra protection for the stick portion, you could always wrap them with bubble wrap. the only hard case ones i've seen are team ones that fit like 50 sticks. wish i could be of more help

I doubt a hockey stick will experience more abuse on a flight than on the ice... and yes I've seen baggage handlers in action.

Use a small sized hard shell golf travel bag.
