Question Anyone play hockey? (Question about trunk space)

Hey Everybody. I've been searching for a new car these past couple months. One of the important things is good enough amount of trunk space for my hockey bag. I'm sure I could lay my stick through the hatch and ahead so that's not a problem. So if anyone plays hockey and use their Z for going to practice/games/etc, please let me know.

Not possible. The Strut bar sits too low. If you were to take your pants and shoulder pads out and put them in their along with the bag under the bar it would all fit though.

eveything fits fine..the trunk is bigger than you think....you can lay the stick in the front seat (blade on the floor and butt leaning on the passeger side window.

your bag will fit in the back....you might have to take your stuff out and spread it around though...

I just throw my bag in the passenger seat. Otherwise, I'd have to take stuff out of the bag to make it fit in the trunk.

Nah, you can do it...I've tossed my sailing bags and skiing bags back there...sometimes it takes a little creative work but it works. I sometimes toss it at an angle up infront of the strut bar and lean it on the bulhead where the speakers are behind the seats...seems to be alright there.

Hockey BAGS (yes plural) fit no problem. I play 3-4 times a week and drive half the time.
I put my bag past the strut bar closer to the back seats and my bro's bag behind the strut bar, just have to flatten that bag out a little, just smack 3 or 4 times, simple.

I lose no vision with the bags, they actually fit perfect and I have a standard bag, while my bro has the two strap on your shoulder bag. sticks fit no prob, put the blades by the passengers feet and the buttends in between the seats, use a stick bag or have a towel in the car so the tape on the buttend doesn't rub onto the side of the passenger seat.

My plate is LAZVEGAZ but being changed to HOCKEY Z.

Default YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

The bag fits...

Unless you are a goalie..

Im talking standard amount of gear here..

If you are one of those "Tank" guys (you know..the ones who wear EVERY single piece of protective equipment known to man!), you will have an issue...
