In case you are new to the sport, the hockey stick is the sport’s equivalent to a baseball player’s bat, a golfer’s club, a bowler’s ball, etc. Selecting the right one is always of utmost importance. When you go on a scoring streak, you will be babying your stick and proclaiming its greatness to anyone willing to lend an ear. However, when you go through a scoring drought, if you don’t break down and smash it over the bench wall (which we do not encourage,) you will be trolling the pro shop and your teammate’s sticks looking for a replacement.
