I used to buy Northland GOALIE sticks for under $5 in Grosse Pointe Michigan growing up. Just some wood dipped in clear fiberglass resin, they would last maybe 15-20 games if you taped them right. They had absolutely no BEND to them so handling the puck was challenging and they were 3 times heavier than the carbon fiber sticks they're spinning out of spider webs today. When the SherWood PMP sticks came out, we thought THAT was revolutionary at the time.

Skipped the late 90s early 2000s phase of composite shaft with a wood blade.

[@flamingojuice9833]

Yeah I’ve been depressed my hockey team said no more hockey 😭😭

When you learn the history, you become more closer to it. That's why military personnel learn the Birthday of their branches by heart

[@keksgles7288]

Yooo love this video!! Such a banger🔥 I can't wait to see more😁!!

[@miccrhaafetl5101]

One of the fellow coaches brought wooden sick from the 50s to practice, I couldn't believe how heavy it was. Would have loved to take a few shots with it.

[@HasBeensNAddicts]

Glad I found your channel. Hype about your future vids. Keep it Up cuz youre one of my favs now

[@quincee3376]

Greatest " Illegal stick measurement " came in 93 Stanley Cup Game 2 . Kings were up 2-1 late in the 3rd and already won Game 1. Habs didnt want to go to L.A. down 2 nothing . Montreal late great coach Jacques Demers asked to measure the Kings Marty McSorley's stick. A very gutsy call only being down 2-1 . McSorley was busted and then Demers pulled Patrick Roy for a 6 on 4 PP. Habs scored and won in OT. Eric Desjardins scored the Hat Trick and is the only Defenceman to score a Hat Trick in a Stanley Cup Final. That penalty was the turning point in the series. Montreal would go on to win the next 3 games and win 4 games to 1 with 3 games won in OT.

[@jdbankshot]

tabarnak, it's great that you remember that! now, hold on to that memory, cherish it.... because the habs aren't winning the cup again until 2054.

[@dennis3351]

This with the changes in skates and equipment is why when records are made there can't be an accurate comparison to older hockey.

[@juiceybrucey3475]

You forgot about lie dude... a sticks lie. Very important. You’re welcome

[@RamanN00B]

love that ash pic lol but also that slow shot of iconic hockey sticks from greats like Yzerman was very satisfying. love your stuff man.

[@MasterOfReflexion]

Remenber that case of McSorley caught with an illegal stick, contributing to the Canadiens game-tying goal. Canadiens won the Stanley Cup in 1993 following that call

[@ArchieCrypto]

I have two of O’Reilly’s actual LX Pro sticks and they are crazy fun to use and great at wrap arounds, and stealing the puck. The toe curve just cradles it enough to pocket it. You can also fling some hard angled passes using the toe curve on it. I’m about to order a couple more just in case.

[@ry-flix]

This is great!!

[@vassa1972]

Cool stuff

[@philippealain6978]

High quality vid. Good research and great editing, good job !

[@WHADDDD]

Easton Synergy for life

[@goalscorerlajon]

Spezza's stick measurement penalty isn't even the most famous in NHL history. You actually MISSED the most famous stick measurement penalty in NHL history. That would be Marty McSorley's penalty against the Habs in the 1993 Finals.

Hockey sticc wacc the pucc

[@yogibearstie]

Best stick I ever had was Christian. Perfect whip for me, back when you just flexed sticks a picked the one that felt best. Worst was an aluminum shaft. Terrible for everything.

[@quincee3376]

I used Titan and Koho in the 70s and 80s. And a Victoriaville goalie stick.

[@yogibearstie]

My first stick was a red Titan, which had a lot of fiberglass, including a nice bead along the bottom to reduce wear. Nice stick.

[@quincee3376]

@@yogibearstie Red Titans were great!

[@hockeyalley1]

The Easton T flex is the reason we have one piece graphite’s

[@ArchieCrypto]

Easton to this day was the best hockey stick company.

[@doos994]

One NHL player got his stick stuck on a door and that was the first curved stick because even though he got it stuck he still used it

[@doos994]

ik

[@TR-vr5pz]

that was Mikita

[@L1V2P9]

1:15 to 1:23 The commentator states that Mic Mac sticks were made of maple and willow. Freeze the Eaton's ad at 1:19 and it clearly says the mic mac sticks were made of golden birch with some from elm and ash.

[@IntheSlot]

The original sticks were made from maple and willow, as time went on many different wood types would end up being used.

Nova Scotian here. You pronounced mi'kmaq wrong. It's not pronounced "mic-mac", but as "mig-maw". Also, they aren't Americans. We call them aboriginals or first nations

Actually the way the curve on the stick was found was bobby hull was messin around trying to break a stick and jammed the blade under a door and It curved and he tried it out and it worked then it took off

[@loisbradley5054]

Cool

[@ATinyPillow]

Cody Cassel : Actually it was Stan Mikita first, then Hull did it too. .

Bathgate was not the first--you need better research maam..

[@massivecumshot]

Bathgate took the shot that broke Jacque Plante's nose, which forced him to don his first face mask.

[@jdbankshot]

look, i hate to be that guy, but c'mon, the history of the hockey stick in 6n half mins??!! the history of "sher-wood" alone could be 2hrs. victoriaville, northland, ccm, montreal, cooper, jofa/titan, koho, torspo, artis, canadien, louisville, christian, easton, bauer, mission, branches, fontaine, innovative, nike, reebok, warrior, stx, true...

[@jcbz4746]

1:08 “mik mak” is actually quite a offensive term because when the maritime fur trade was happening they couldn’t tell the europeans what to call them and they just started to call them mik maks, its pronounced miq mak (mig-mahh”
