Yeah, those one piece composites are way too expensive. I like the lightness of the composite shaft, but I use it for street hockey and I don't tape my stick either so I go through blades endlessly. Maybe I can get a plastic blade or something.Originally posted by: meltdown75
I'm pretty old school and still use wooden sticks, but buddies of mine usually heat theirs up with a little torch. I'm sure if a hair dryer can get it hot enough though, it will do just fine.Originally posted by: clickynext
For anyone in here that plays hockey, I just got a replacement blade for my composite shaft, but the place couldn't put it in for me. Can I use a hair dryer or stove to heat the glue?
edit: I'm looking to buy a composite stick but I'm kinda low on cash for that right now
I noticed some TPS composites for around $80 though.

My third round picks:
Ottawa > Buffalo in 7. (Meaning it could go either way really.)
Anaheim > Detroit in 6. (It'll be a hard fought series, but i just don't see teh Wings coming out of this.)

It depends on what you like. When I played ice I kept half my sticks untaped and half with just a bit of tape on the end of the blade. I liked the feel of the puck on the stick so much more without the tape, but the tape allowed me to have a bit more shot control on my wrister.Originally posted by: oogabooga

How come you don't tape your stick?

Gigeurre carried the Ducks this far, but won't be able to carry them any further.
