Bag packed, pads go in the bottom and everything else fits around or inside th leg channel. Gear is only in the bag for transport, always unpacked when I get home and hang in rocket sport dryer, except pads and skates I air them out.
We play many games 45min-1hr drive away with road games too long to be sitting in my own sweat, haha. I do have to admit maybe once we didn’t have hot water.
