Hockey Stuff

I’ve been playing ice hockey for about 20 years now, played for the Amatuer Pens, Pittsburgh Stars, and for pitt in college. I’ve used the Tacki-mat a few times and hated it. It would tear up my gloves so fast.

For those making comments about the new breeds of superlight carbon one-piece sticks…they are shite. The blades usually last a few games, some will last one knocked down shot. I’m tired of paying 200+ for sticks that break too easily. The weave cracks, the resin in the blade shatters, but they feel nice. I stick to buying a few really nice blade-less shafts and replace blades often. You can find nice sticks (shafts only) for great prices around here (Perani’s anyone?). Stick with the regular friction tape for blades, cloth for everything else.

my one piece sticks usually last me pretty good. my last 2 warriors have lasted me over a year. i used to have the rbk and ccm one pieces and they didnt last for anything.

Longest lasting stick i have ever used was A TPS tri-core shaft and easton carbon blade. the Tri-core has to be one of the most durable shafts made. you went to pitt main and played? when did you graduate?
