New Hockey Stick and Skate Blade Design
FY 2024-25 · 2024-04-01
Summary
Using new manufacturing technology and materials to develop an advanced hockey stick that will not break like typical composite sticks do during play. This technology also delivers a higher level of performance for the player. Using the same technology there is also a new skate blade design that will reduce player fatigue. Players tend to get hurt more often the more fatigued their reaction time is diminished making them more susceptible to injury as fatigue sets in.

Description (French)
Utilisation de nouvelles technologies de fabrication et de nouveaux matériaux pour mettre au point une crosse de hockey avancée qui ne se cassera pas comme le font les crosses en composite typiques pendant le jeu. Cette technologie permet également au joueur d’atteindre un niveau de performance plus élevé. La même technologie a permis de concevoir une nouvelle lame de patin qui réduit la fatigue du joueur. Les joueurs ont tendance à se blesser plus souvent lorsqu’ils sont fatigués. Leur temps de réaction est réduit, ce qui les rend plus susceptibles de se blesser lorsque la fatigue s’installe.
