Carbon-fiber sticks the latest rage in NHL.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Tim Panaccio
PHILADELPHIA _ They are blue, white, black, red, flaming yellow, even hot pink. You see them in every NHL dressing room.
We're talking carbon fiber sticks, not third sweaters.
These are the sticks that have NHL goaltenders swearing under their breath every time someone uncorks a slapshot from the blue line.
Carbon fiber sticks are to hockey what aluminum bats are to college baseball. They are lighter than conventional wood sticks _ and stiffer, because they are all one piece (there's no seam where the blade meets the shaft). When a player _ even one with an average shot _ winds up and shoots, the velocity is much greater than what that player is normally capable of producing.
"Ask the goalies about them," said Flyers center Jeremy Roenick, who brought his Easton composite stick with him to Sunrise, Fla., for this weekend's NHL All-Star Game.
