Abstract
The present invention relates to a blade construct for a hockey stick or the like. The blade construct has a blade body comprising a first face member, and a second opposed face member. The first and second face members are spaced apart and are of fiber reinforced plastics material. The blade construct is characterized in that, a core cavity member is sandwiched between the first and second face members. The core cavity member comprises one or more bridge members of fiber reinforced plastics material. The first face member, the second face member and the bridge members are integral, and one or more of the bridge members comprises a fiber reinforcing component oriented transversely with respect to the first and second face members.
