A multi-core, composite blade for a hockey stick, comprising:
- an elongated member extending longitudinally from a tip section to a heel section and vertically from a top section to a bottom section to form a front-facing wall and a generally opposing back-facing wall, with the front and back-facing walls spaced apart at their mid-sections and merged together at their perimeter edges to define a cavity there between;
- a plurality of inner core elements in the cavity;
- wherein at least one of the inner core elements is formed of an elastomeric material, and at least one of the inner core elements is formed of a non-elastomeric material.
