I'm using an old Costco-special Team Canada 40" bag for my goalie gear and a pro stock Manitoba Moose bag for my player gear. No wheels on either... I'll stop playing once I can't muster the strength to carry my own bag from the house to/from car and from the car to/from rink.

I'm only 140lbs and I'm a stick. If I can carry my goalie gear into the arena with no wheels... most players should be able to too. The only two groups of people that can get away with wheel bags are goalies and girls.

There's really no real reason why you'd need a Grit bag. They take up way too much space, hard to fit into most cars and they're expensive.

Equipment trees are one of the best things you can invest in. I just open up my equipment bag, stand the tree and then hang all of my gear on it.

I've freed up a little more space as of late and I'm using one of these instead: http://www.oppictures.com/singleimag...5279BL_1_1.JPG

As for forgetting pieces of gear, I always pack my bag ahead of time and I pack it exactly the same way every single time so I can see immediately what's missing.
