An ice, street or roller hockey stick having a stick blade that prevents excessive wear. The stick includes a plurality of rods or members inserted in the bottom edge of the stick's blade. The rods or members are made of a material exhibiting higher wear resistance characteristics than the material used to form the bottom edge of the blade.
Claims34
A wear resistant hockey stick blade for use with a hockey stick handle, comprising:
- a blade member adopted for connection to the hockey stick handle and being made of a first material, said blade member having a bottom playing edge;
- a first wear resistant member disposed inside said blade member having a surface portion thereof extending to and being flush with said bottom playing edge, first wear resistant member being formed of a second material that is more wear resistant than said first material;
- and
- a second wear resistant member disposed inside said blade member having a surface portion thereof extending to and being flush with said bottom playing edge and being formed of a third material that is more wear resistant than said first and second materials, wherein said first and second wear resistant members are disposed along said bottom playing edge to provide a varying wear resistance protection for selected portions of said bottom playing edge.
