Composite Ice Hockey Sticks
Easton Hockey introduced the first composite ice hockey sticks in 1981 when it created the aluminum hockey shaft. National Hockey League players loved this first composite stick and the trend took off. In 1992, a new level of composite hockey sticks was introduced with a "one-piece" design quickly favored by players of all skill levels on the ice. Manufacturers of composite ice hockey sticks point out the ability to create sticks matching their desired performance specifications. While 100-percent wood sticks provide the traditional feel and response some players like, it is harder to mass produce wood sticks within the same quality controls. You will find a wide variety of sticks making use of steel, aluminum, graphite, Kevlar, fiberglass, titanium and carbon fiber. Traditional carbon fiber sticks are more than 20 times stronger than steel and aluminum. The Next Generation of Composite Hockey Sticks
Today, nanotube technology promises to take composite ice hockey sticks to the next level. The carbon nanotube fiber boasts strength levels of almost 20 times that of traditional carbon fiber sticks. While the nanotube fiber is very hard, it is also very flexible so you can control the puck when receiving a pass or taking a shot.
