Hockey Goalie Sticks - Page 9

Buying used gear is a sustainable way to score high-quality items at a fraction of the cost. Not only can you find great deals, but you might also stumble upon rare or discontinued gear that’s no longer available in stores. When buying a used hockey stick, here's what to look for:

✔️ Inspect the entire shaft length for visible cracks, dents, or fractures. Cracks can weaken the structure of the stick and affect performance.

✔️ Check the blade for cracks, chips, or signs of severe wear. A compromised blade can affect the stick's performance when shooting or passing.

✔️ Ensure the blade is securely attached to the shaft and shows no signs of being loose or wobbly. 

✔️ Ensure the stick hasn't been cut below its lowest flex indicator. Cutting it can significantly reduce its intended flex and affect performance. If the stick appears altered in length, check the flex indicator to confirm it's intact.

✔️ Examine the blade's edge for excessive wear or chips, especially along the toe and heel. Worn edges can affect puck handling, shooting accuracy, and the ability to get a good grip on the ice.
