We have an impressive selection of wood sticks as well as composite sticks and shafts. There are rows upon rows of different sticks to choose from. Don’t be intimidated though. Our United Cycle staff are close at hand to provide all the help and advice you can ask for.

Wood Sticks
Despite the growing alternatives, wood based sticks are still popular with hockey players today because of the individual “feel” derived from the type of wood in each stick. The biggest drawback to wood sticks is that no two trees grow the same, making it very difficult to find wood sticks with the same stiffness and flex every time.

Composite Sticks and Shafts
Contrary to popular belief, composite sticks and shafts are not designed for durability, but for performance! Some of the advantages of using composite sticks and shafts include decreased weight, increased shot velocity, lower kick-point for quicker release and improved accuracy. These advantages are a result of greater consistency in production. When composite sticks and shafts are produced, controlled manufacturing processes help to create the desired performance characteristic of each stick and shaft. Using these processes enables stick companies to re-create the same performance characteristics in each individual stick and shaft they produce.
