I purchased this for my partner. He plays goalie for a semi-pro roller hockey team, as well as on a myriad of other hockey teams in the Midwest and runs his own roller hockey podcast. Needless to say, I wanted to get him the best. He loves this bag. He specifically asked for this size to fit all of his gear and pads inside (not attached on the outside). He also asked for a bag with wheels. It’s been a great upgrade, and is excellent quality. The customization also looks great and isn’t the type that would peel or wear off. We both recommend this company if you’re looking for a quality goalie bag!
This is my second Goalie bag from Conway+Banks. I absolutely love their Giant 10DS Goalie Bag!! The first one lasted almost 6 years without issue - no rips, tears, or wheels breaking off or any bottom boarders breaking. The only thing that went bad was the zipper because I over packed a few times. As you can see, the new one fits everything-pads, chest protector, breezers, glove, blocker, skates, everything, ect!! It fits perfectly in my trunk and under the bench in the locker room. Also as a 50+ year old guy the wheels make the bag easier to maneuver and save my back for playing. I cannot recommend this bag more. It’s the only bag I’ve used in the past 7 years & it’s the reason I ordered a second. It’s the best goalie bag out there.
We always had a goalie bag that has wheels and was SUMO huge- we finally made the change to this goalie bag and it’s amazing! My goalie is basically adult sized (6 feet tall) and everything including his pads (32+1) fit into this bag! Bonus being I drive a VW Jetta and his bag plus a skater bag fits into the trunk!!
Bag itself is great. It’s high quality materials and the dividers are helpful. But, with all the gear in the bag, plus the extra 20 POUNDS the bag weighs…it’s almost impossible to pull comfortably. I really wish it had a telescoping handle like the player bags do. The handle doesn’t have padding, so it makes our hands red and sore after pulling. By the end of a tournament weekend, my hand is bruised and sore. 11 year old can’t comfortably pull the bag for a long distance (he tries!), so I’m stuck wheeling it across the parking lot.
This bag is amazing. It holds all of my goalie gear (I wear an adult small chesty and pants, plus 33" leg pads) with room to spare. The wheels are great and makes for traveling with the bag a breeze. It is a big bag so make sure you measure before buying to ensure it fits in your car!
Love the bag overall. My only gripe is that the dividers aren’t that secure as the Velcro only attaches to the inner liner of the bag. When you tip the bag up to wheel it anywhere, the weight of the gear inside mess up the lining and dividers. Great concept, but needs more work. The bag quality is great and I’m happy with the purchase. Without the dividers, I can fit the leg pads in as well.

Hey Corey, the dividers should have velcro for the bag side wall as well as the base, so it should be very secure! If the version you received did not have this, please let me know so we can investigate further!
Amazing quality of a bag, but the customer service we received from C&B is the best we have ever received! Whenever we need, C&B will be my first go to!
Overall very happy with the product. Not a fan of the skate mat feature especially in a crowded dressing room where the bag has to be placed horizontally to put skates on.This area would have best been served with a few storage pockets. As well the interior of the bag could have had some more storage areas.
Was looking for a unicorn bag for tall tier hockey goalie teen. This comes close. His gear would not fit the junior size so we got the Senior goalie version with wheels. The criteria we were looking for: 1) fits ALL of the gear including the leg pads, for flying on planes (had and did not like other brand tower bag for that reason), 2) is organized and not a giant hole, 3) durable, 4) easy enough to maneuver that a small mom can move it around (like in the garage), 5) HOLD ALL the gear when flying (yes, repeating what I said).
We’ve passed the warrantee period so here are some observations: 1) some fraying at zipper but still holding tough. Bag has been flown dozens if not more times across time zones, 2) because player’s gear is all senior sized despite him being a teen, it is tough to contain all the gear and there is bulge at the top which does a number to the zipper, 3) not having telescoping or comfortable handle means sore hands and a workout lugging it across airport, 4)we STILL need an additional bag to fly—all his gear and the bag combined weighs over 50 lbs so we need a carry on to hold his goalie mask and skates. Sure we can pay for oversized but who wants to do that ?
So close to being unicorn!
This bag isn’t cheap, but it’s worth every penny (US or CAD). Clean, well made, and durable. It’s great to see a smaller company make a great product that can compete with the big name brands in hockey. I recommend this to all goalies, plenty of space for all gear and playing extras.
This is a great bag that holds all goalie gear and accessories. It is durable. My son can carry it on his shoulders, easy to close and will be a bag that he has for a long time.
We got this bag at the end of last season and are halfway through this current season, so it’s only been used for half a season. The seam on the zipper has already separated in two places and my child is just a squirt so is not carrying heavy/bulky equipment that would stretch the seams. Also, because this bag does not have a frame the bottom scrapes and is beginning to tear as it drags on the pavement when wheeling it. It was great for the three months we used it but will not be purchasing again unless there is a drastic improvement in quality.

Hey Abby, Sorry you're seeing this issue here after just 2 years of use. Definitely not acceptable. While this bag is no longer covered under warranty, it does look like an easy fix. Any local seamstress should be able to help mend this bag rather quickly and cheaply!
We absolutely love Conway and Banks. Their warranty is fabulous. The bags are well made.....this is our go to place.
My tendy can fit inside...and commented so this is how a helmet feels when all zipped inside.
Thanks for an amazing product
Percy and his team outdid themselves with the creation of this bag, so thick, looks so durable. He will probably have this bag till he gets out of high school and beyond, (he is in 8th now). It was well worth the wait.
After a terrible second bag by CCM, I researched products. C&B had great reviews and a warranty I couldn't look past. My 12 year old loves his customized goalie bag and all of its features. Plenty of pockets, easy to zip, bungees, and dividers. I see this brand being our go to for the rest of his playing days.
I think the bag it great for a 14u goalie! It is big, and seems to be well made. Time will tell regarding the wheels (which are what broke on the prior c&b player bag we had), and I really wish they had included the extendable handle in this model. Overall, it is a really nice bag that I hope lasts a long time.
I just received the 10DS goalie bag for my son. It appears bulletproof. Hands down the best quality bag I have seen in a very long time. It was on backorder which took six months. Well worth the wait. If you are giving this bag any thought don't wait, order now.
First up the storage dividers are amazing! It really helps being able to fit my gear in a certain spot and where I can see it. 2nd, tje padded shoulder strap, awesome idea. 3rd, zippers are first class and the material of the bag is great.
I'm glad I stumbled across ypu guys, thanks for the quick shipping and for making a great bag.
Ps
Lots of storage for everything. Its worth the $$
Customer service was excellent in getting a replacement for an almost a year old bag. (Bought the extended warranty). Love these bags, his first bag made it through 2 full seasons.
