Abstract
The invention disclosed herein is a vehicle which attaches to an existing flexible hockey equipment bag which enables the bag to be easily transported via wheels, instead of hoisting it over one's shoulder awkwardly. Hockey sticks can be inserted into the engaging jaws, permitting the apparatus and attached bag to be maneuvered using the hockey sticks as a handle. A locking compartment is utilized for a player to put valuables while the bag is unattended. Also a provision for locking the bag to a stationary object has been included. This invention allows for a hockey player to keep the advantages of a flexible bag (i.e. fits inside a car keeping equipment warm), while being able to move the bag on its wheels and secure valuables when unattended.
