Sticks

I have another question. When the article is talking about the sticks you use for road hockey. Ive never heard of blades connected to the shafts with screws. What they do is the shaft is hollow and the blades end is narrower so it fits in the shaft. It comes coated with glue so they just heat it with a heat gun and vola its stuck. Also most people just use regular ice hockey sticks theres really no difference. Tyza (talk) 22:50, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Streetgoalie99 (talk) 00:45, 8 January 2013 (UTC) To answer your question about sticks with screws, both Mylec and Franklin, two of the largest manufacturers of street hockey equipment, sell sticks where the blade is screwed on to the wooden shaft of the stick. Here is an example of the Mylec stick: http://www.purehockey.com/mylec-305-eclipse-junior-wood-street-hockey-stick-11-15309 And here is an example of the Franklin stick: http://uniforcetactical.com/fsm/b2c/streethockey/sh_sticks.html

I hope that answers your questions.

It's possible to pick up sticks like this pretty easily. I've seen them in Canadian Tire in Canada... where they also sell replacement blades very cheaply (circa CAN$2.) The do also sell wooden "Street Hockey" sticks with plastic blades, but that's in addition to the other type. Memsom (talk) 13:28, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Ball / Equipment

Can anybody find a reference to the difference between the balls used in street hockey versus field hockey? I start having the feeling the street-hockey balls that don't have liquid in them to reduce bouncing, are marketed as "junior" balls in the field hockey shops?

The difference? Field hockey balls are weighted. A ball hockey ball is reasonably light (say - in line with that of a tennis ball), a field hockey ball is more in line with a baseball or cricket ball. If you get hit by a field hockey ball, it hurts! A ball hockey ball might cause a welt, but a field hockey ball could cause serious damage. Memsom (talk) 13:22, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
