The sports bag of the present invention is preferably used for the transport and storage of hockey equipment. The bag comprises a base to which side walls and end walls are hingedly connected. The bag can occupy a planar configuration, when the base, side walls and end walls are co-planar, or in a closed configuration, when the walls are hinged upwardly from the base and connected to each other, preferably by zippers, at adjacent edges to define an interior space. Pockets disposed on the interior surfaces of the bag are made of material, such as nylon mesh, which allows air to circulate through the pockets, expediting evaporation of moisture from an item of sports equipment or clothing inside a respective pocket. In the planar configuration, the bag may be suspended vertically from a hanger to minimize the space required for air-drying of the sports equipment items in the pockets.

[I claim:] [1.]a) a substantially rectangular base;b) first and second side walls hingedly connected to respective opposite side edges of the base;c) first and second end walls hingedly connected to respective opposite end edges of the base;the side walls and end walls being formed of a flexible material and, in a first configuration, the base, side walls and end walls are co-planar, and, in a second configuration, the side walls and end walls extend upwardly from the base, and edges of the end walls are joined to adjacent edges of the side walls via co-operating separable fastening means;i) a plurality of pockets for retaining items of sports equipment and clothing disposed on interior surfaces of the base and side walls, the pockets comprising a moisture- and air-permeable material which permits air to circulate therethrough, the pockets being dimensioned and arranged to facilitate storage, balancing and sorting of items of sports equipment;ii) top closure means to releasably connect distal edges of the side walls, thereby enclosing the interior surface of the bag when in the second configuration; andiii) a hanger mechanism connected to the distal edge of the first side wall, the hanger mechanism having a first rigid member adapted to extend along the distal edge of the first side wall, and a centrally located hanger loop, said rigid member being detachable;whereby the sports bag may be suspended vertically by the hanger loop when in the first configuration to allow for evaporative drying of items within the pockets.
