First of all, great job with the site Ryan, it’s looking great!!
Anyways, does anyone here have any experience in carrying/sending hockey gear overseas? I will be taking my hockey sticks from Canada to Hong Kong and will either have to check them in on the plane or mail them to my hong kong address. I’m apprehensive about both ways as I think my sticks will break, which is the safest method? is there a better method?
Thanks
Wrap the crap out of them with Duct tape so that if they get bashed they’re less likely to break. Even a little cushioning from the duct tape will generally stop them breaking from being bashed around. Also, when they’re taped together they’re stronger because there’s more of them and less likely to break from bending. I took 6 (I think) composite sticks as excess luggage from Canada to NZ via Air Canada/Air New Zealand with no probs at all. Cost ~CAN$140 I think.
You could also bubble wrap inside the duct tape if you were really keen to protect them. Stick bags wont do dick all to protect them so don’t even bother. Duct tape is way better.
Ryan,
