Why You Should Use A Composite Hockey Stick

Epiphone Wildkat has a Mahogany body with a Maple top and a glued-in Maple neck. The fingerboard is certainly made of none other than Rosewood. On the other hand, Epiphone 339 comes with a laminated Maple body with a solid center block and a glued-in Mahogany neck. While solid woods are great for acoustic guitars, laminated woods are usually better for electric models, giving the much-needed ruggedness and durability as well as a neutral platform that allows the electronics to perform.

If you do, keep reading. Today, I’m going to tell you some things about ice hockey. Hockey was invented on March 3, 1875. The game hasn’t changed too much over the years. The point is still trying to hit the puck into the goal. How is hockey set up? In hockey there is two teams of six players each. The players are required to wear protective equipment. The ice has four lines that run sideways across it; one red thin line at the end of each side in front of the goalie’s net, two blue lines about one third of the way towards the middle, and one center red line. At the start of each match both teams play three forwards, who are trying to score and assist goals,

Hockey is one of the only sports that will let contact like football or any other sports like those that will have people hitting others for the protection of others. In hockey it three periods instead of half and it has timed penalties instead of yards.

Technology has been a big part of the game, it makes you skate faster, shoot faster, and be more protected. Skates used to be just pieces of leather with metal blades on the bottom, now there are many materials involved in make skates. Players didn't always use pads but the first pads were cheap pieces of felt and leather now we have pads that can protect you from a 100 mile per hour shot. Stick use to be just pieces of wood with barely even a curve now we have composite sticks that flex to make the puck shoot harder and have made the curve huge to

Whilst hockey stick production has traditionally been based in North America, over the last decade there has been a significant shift towards global sourcing in the industry (Zhang & Beamish, 2011, p.21). This has been driven by a desire to access low-cost factors of production, secure cheaper material resources, and ultimately gain a competitive advantage.

Skating is the most important hockey skill. Players must be able to turn sharply, skate backwards and perform many other maneuvers while skating at top speed. They must be able to do this with their head up and while stick handling the puck.

In the beginning of the season, the Sherwood High School girl’s lacrosse team had enough to field two teams, a JV and a Varsity, but by the end of the season, there was only enough to field one team. At one point in the season the team had 8 out of 26 girls out with concussions Team statistics such as this, have the lacrosse community in an uproar over whether or not to mandate helmets for all levels of women’s lacrosse teams. The debate has arisen out of an increase in concussions and the recent research which has provided more insight to the science of the brain and its injuries. Those in favor of a new headgear mandate suggest that it will prevent concussions and be safer for the players, but

Lacrosse was started by Native Americans in the seventeenth century and is still around being played today. William George Beers was the one who changed the rules from the Indian rules to the ones that today’s game is based off of. Why did he change the rules so much and did it help today’s game?

Hockey is a fast paced sport with little time to react or prepare for a hit correctly. The knowledge of knowing how to take a hit is just as important on how to distribute a hit. Both can cause significant harm to both players if not done right. The biggest rule to follow when you are about to get hit is to have a low base. This means to have your knees bent at about ninety or so degrees and to put most of your weight on the ball of your foot. This way your center of gravity is lower and you have more balance. This also protects more of your limbs from getting hit. As opposed to standing up with makes you unbalanced and prone to worse injuries. Another crucial part of the game is how you give a hit. Many clinics have been set up to show how to properly hit, but boys tend to ignore the rules and just try to hit someone has hard as they can. This is why during practice during the regular season it should be practiced on at least once every week or two weeks. But even the knowledge of how to hit and how to take a hit isn’t enough. Proper stretching and strength training has proven to strengthen muscles and to allow flexibility and decrease injuries (Mick). More players should take advantage of doing a full, warm up before a game. This decreases chance of injury while also increasing the performance of the

The wooden sticks were artfully hand-carved from hickory. The stick's length measured about 48 inches. The modern sticks are made from plastic and other materials approved by the ILF (International Lacrosse Federation). Yet there are players who still prefer traditional equipment. Iroquois artisans like Alf Jacques make traditional wooden sticks for those players.

Let's start with the gloves. Of course when you catch a puck you would like to close the glove to keep the puck inside right? Well then don’t buy a Bauer glove. Yeah, they don’t even close all the way. Don’t believe me? Just look. His glove will not close, that is about as far as it goes. So buy the CCM glove, it looks better anyways, feels better on your hand, actually closes, can’t get any better then that.

American football has been around for over one hundred years, and along with the sport has been the need to provide proper safety for the players. An assortment of padding has been instituted in the game that protects against most blunt trauma including blows to the shoulders, mid section, and legs. In an attempt to prevent fracture of the skull, helmets were designed. However, studies have shown that helmets do little to nothing to prevent concussive damage to the brain. A polycarbonate shell is used as the outer housing for regulation football helmets, but along with this material, the materials used on the inside of the helmet are just as, if not more, important. The purpose of this report is to analyze the materials used in current football helmet design and the improvements being made in the field of materials science in order to combat the severe number of concussions suffered by NFL players.

In men’s lacrosse, there are three field positions. These are attackmen, midfielders, and defenders. Each position has a job it has to do, and the head the player uses reflects what he does. It is important to consider what each player theoretically would use. All aspects of what the player uses is 100% up the preferences of the individual player. An attackman uses a stiff head, so he has the ability to throw checks (hit) when needed (Calhoun). He would also want a good scoop for a fast groundball (GB) recovery (Calhoun). Very important is a narrow or pinched head, this will help ensure an accurate shot (“uString”). Midfielders should use a head that has a good scoop for quick GB’s, a good channel for an accurate shot, but it shouldn't be to

As everyone knows, ice hockey is played on ice, which makes it an extremely high paced game. Unlike ice hockey, Roller hockey is played on a plastic floor that consists of many six-inch by six-inch tiles. The plastic floor makes roller hockey a much slower paced game than ice hockey. The reason that roller hockey is so much slower than ice hockey is because there is more friction. The friction is produced in the

* Sun, moisture and sudden temperature changes can impair the form and colour. However appropriately dried and processed wood is more robust than plastic or aluminum.
