Abstract
A goalkeeper's hockey stick having a blade and a shaft rigidly connected to the blade at the heel end. The shaft has three sections with a first section being straight and extending upwards from the heel end of the blade. A second section forms first and second bends with the first bend causing the shaft to extend upwardly and rearwardly from the first section and the second bend causing the shaft above the second bend to extend substantially parallel to the first section. The third section is straight and extends upwards from said second bend. Preferably the shaft has a slight transverse curve near its upper end which results in a deviation from the plane defined by the blade and the first section of the shaft of about 1 inch.
