where are we supposed to park??  This is a tiny lot.

Cool, that's the same as my map.  Here's a screencap to show the ghetto-ness.  I think I see a dead body in this pic!

I can't tell from your map but this is the official place:  http://www.lasvegasrollerhockey.com/MAPDIRECTION.html

 

The star on this map is the driveway entrance, to a run down shopping plaza.   The rink is way at the back on the right as you pull into the driveway.

I've been checking out the online maps of where the rink is...looks like there's some room for confusion as there's multiple listings for "Las Vegas Roller Hockey Center".  Can one of the vets confirm whether this is the right location: http://tinyurl.com/4psb5on

I just called Southwest and spoke to an agent to clarify what their website says.  According to the agent, hockey sticks are allowed as one of your checked bags, AND they recommend you package them in a case and wrap them to protect them.  They are NOT subjected to the overSIZED limits of 62 inches, but are subjected to the overWEIGHT limit of 50lbs.  I plan on putting 4 sticks in a ski bag, with my shin guards around the shaft and hockey glove on the blades for protection.  If they try to charge you, I'd raise a huge stink.  Here's the links:

 

Hockey and Lacrosse sticks will be accepted as checked baggage but will count toward the free baggage allowance.

I think you can get away with quite a few, but here's the official rule for Alaska & SWA: 

"Each bag must weigh 50 pounds or less and have a maximum dimension of 62 linear inches (length + height + width) to avoid additional charges."

Yo! I definitely want to send my 2 sticks with someone else's. Ovi, if you'll be at street hockey this weekend (2/19), I'll leave them in your care. Otherwise...I'll figure a way to get them to you.

To anyone, check how many sticks can be bundled together to be counted as one piece of baggage - I believe a few airlines have limits on this idea.

Hey Rainer

because we are on Southwest, sticks count as one bag and we can take 2 bags free.  With that said, anyone that want me to take some of your sticks, I am more than happy to.

Rainer, re: sticks, try to group up with someone to ship them together in a ski bag or something like that.  E.g. Carlo and I are arriving at approx the same time so are shipping our sticks together.

that is a good draw--

late enough to sleep off the previous night's bender,

and early enough to be tsauced before the tsunami game.
