Hockey bag + coupe trunk = perfect fit.

Hey all. When I decided to buy the coupe I was worried that my hockey bag wouldn't fit. It didn't deter me from getting the car, but I thought I was just going to have to figure it out. Smaller bag? Less equipment? Something would have to give.

Well, for anyone else concerned about this, I can confirm that this is a non-issue. A hockey bag fits perfectly in the trunk of the coupe. I have a full-sized Easton hockey bag, with wheels and a skate compartment at each end. The wheel end goes in first, and when that's shoved in all the way, the other end of the bag drops down into the trunk. The lid closes perfectly tight to the top of the bag. Taking the bag out is just the reverse.

Sticks go between the front seats, and I'm golden.

I thought I was buying a totally impractical car. Turns out it was designed for what I need it to do!

My bag barely fits. It's a single compartment bag and so depending on how my equipment decides to sit in the bag it might fit it might not

Squeezing a set of pads in there with the bag is not quite so easy...

Honestly, the sticks are the hardest part. Trying to squeeze them in the side beside the seat without marking up the headliner with the tape is a real project...

I guess I'm an amateur. I try not to take my G when I play hockey. I don't think I've ever put my rear seat down. Thanks...
