The Five Parts of the Hockey Stick
The hockey stick is one of the most important pieces of equipment for a hockey player Let’s take a look at the five parts of the hockey stick and how they work together to help you score goals
The blade
The blade of the Hockey Stick is the most important part as it is what is used to hit the puck. It is typically made of wood, composite, or fiberglass. The blade also has a curved portion at the end, called the toe.
The shaft
The shaft of the hockey stick is the long, thin part that you hold in your hand. It is usually made of wood, composite material, or metal. The shaft is where you grip the stick and where you transfer power from your arms to the blade.
The butt end
The butt end of the Hockey Stick is the part of the stick that is held by the player. It is usually made of wood or plastic and has a comfortable grip for the player to hold. The end of the butt end usually has a knob on it to help the player grip the stick.
The puck
The puck is the small, hard, round disc used in all forms of hockey. It is made of vulcanized rubber and is 1 inch (2.54 cm) thick and 3 inches (7.62 cm) in diameter. The puck weighs between 5.5 and 6 ounces (155 and 170 grams). It is often frozen before games to make it harder and less bouncy.
The goaltender’s stick
hockey sticks come in all shapes and sizes, but they all have the same five parts: the blade, the shaft, the boot, the knob, and the basket. The goaltender’s stick is different from other players’ sticks in a few ways. For one thing, it is usually longer, so that the goaltender can reach more of the net. The blade of the goaltender’s stick is also flatter and wider, to help block shots
