Ice hockey have come a long way since the early days of the sport. Originally, ice hockey sticks were simple wooden sticks with a flat blade. Over the decades, technological advancements have led to sticks made of composite materials with strategic curves and shapes designed to maximize performance. Let's take a look at how ice hockey design has evolved.

Early Wooden Stick Designs

When ice hockey first began in the late 1800s, sticks were simply straight wooden poles with a roughly rectangular blade attached perpendicular to the shaft. Usually made of hardwood like ash or hickory, these early sticks were thick and heavy. The flat wooden blade provided no curves or kick points to optimize shooting and passing. Players had to rely solely on their skill and strength. Stick construction varied widely, as sticks were handmade by local craftsmen rather than manufactured.

Introducing Composite Materials

In the 1970s, new composite materials like fiberglass and carbon fiber began appearing in stick construction. This allowed for Ice Hockey Sticks that were lighter, stronger, and more consistent than wooden sticks. Fiberglass became a popular transitional material that still provided decent rigidity while greatly reducing weight compared to wood. Later, carbon fiber provided even better strength-to-weight ratios. Stick blades also started curving upwards near the toe to create more surface area for lifting the puck.
