FAQ
Q1. How do I order multiple items?
Please submit a Gear Sale Form entry for each item. For example, if ordering a hockey stick and a helmet then submit two forms - submit an order for the stick plus an order for the helmet.
If ordering multiple quantities of the same item then you may submit on a single Gear Sale Form and specify the quantity. A single form can be submitted only if the items are the same size and specifications (e.g. two hockey sticks of the same type, hand, flex, and curve may be submitted in one form, however, if one stick is 75 flex and the second stick is 85 flex then submit two forms).
