Aromatic cedar would be the first thought. One, it has a natural moisture equiliberant about it, and two, natural aromatic ceder tends to fend-off, deter, critters. Moths, ants, termites and other assorted, sundry,detrimental varmits that depend on fabric and material for staple.

What is the lightest hockey stick?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Technically speaking, there is no "best" hockey stick, though there are many good ones. Personally, I would choose Reebok 10k. It also depends on what position you are, and what kind of player you are. Are you a grinder? Sniper? Dangler? These all help determine the attributes of yourself, and what kind of stick you should buy.

What trends are in the hockey equipment industry?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

While "trends" is fairly non-specific, in recent years the equipment end of the industry can be summed up in 1) lighter skates 2) innovative composite sticks 3) Conforming goalie equipment to meet the strict new NHL/NCAA standards.

Outside of those, there has also been a string of new helmets (Cascade most recently) designed to prevent head trauma and innovative ideas for skate blades (Thermablade).

Hope this helps

Is it easier to learn to skate on figure skates or hockey skates?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Neither, really. It mostly depends on what you decide to start with. People who skate in hockey skates generally fall over on the toe picks when they try figure skates, and even accomplished figure skaters say they feel like they're gonna fall over when they put on hockey skates. So it's pretty subjective.

One thing I can say from personal experience, figure skates encourage much better posture and skating technique than hockey skates, as figure skates require you to straighten your back out much more to skate in/not fall over on the toepicks in them compared to hockey skates, I started in hockey skates and switched to figure like a week ago, so yeah.

The only bad part of figure skates is, if you get a higher end pair to just start out in, the toe picks will be close to the ice, so if you lean forward much at all, you'll fall on your face. The other issue is, up to about the 80s, figure skates were made of a single layer of leather, that you could move your ankle around in, like a combat boot. I find these really really hard to skate in, due to the lack of ankle support, compared to hockey boots. I'm sure if you start in them, you can eventually get used to them, but after starting in hockey skates, I could not at all. However, newer figure skates are as stiff/stiffer than most hockey skates, so that's no longer an issue, but I'm just saying this if you find some cheap $20 brand new Chinese "figure skates" or find some older skates at a garage sale or something.

Why do they leave unattended hockey sticks on the ice?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A broken stick is left on the ice because it's a penalty to use it, and a dropped, but still in-tact stick is sometimes left on the ice because picking it up will put its owner out of position so they wait for a good opportunity to grab it.

How do hockey helmets get constructed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Plastic sections are moulded into shape and set. The wires making up the cage or face mask are bent into the right positions and welded together; their anchors are also attached this way.

The sections are bolted together, and padding is glued into them. Any straps are attached via buckles, which may be bolted onto the plastic part or welded onto the cage.

The cage is attached through its anchors to the plastic, and all straps and connections are checked off. Thus, a finished helmet.

What are jockshorts?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A jockstrap is a kind of undergarment for men intended for athletic use. The garment consists of a waistband and a pouch in front in which the penis and scrotum/testicles are worn, connected under the legs to the waistband in back. Jockstraps typically do not have a seat. The pouch is typically from a highly stretchy, resilient, supportive material since the point to a jockstrap is to give extra support to the genitals during physical activity and thereby reduce or prevent injury.

How do you get glue residue off a hockey stick?

Asked by Wiki User

wrap the top of the stick with the plug in it with foil and then heat it up for about 30 secs with a blow torch (if you dont have one your local rink should have a heat gun) then grab a hot mat or something and use it to pull the plug out.

What is a mens shoe size 11 in hockey skates?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Each skate manufacturer is slightly different, but on average, a women's size 10 shoe is comparable to about a size 6.5 skate. If you wear your shoes a little on the loose and comfortable side, I would say a size 6 would be even better. To get the best possible fit though, it is always recommend that you get sized by a skate professional in store rather than buying online.

What is the difference between a wood hockey stick and a graphite hockey stick?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A fibreglass hockey stick is a hockey stick with a layer/s of fibreglass to support the stick and usually layered over wood. A composite stick can have a range of materials e.g. kevlar, carbon fibre, armaid, glassfibre etc. It does not have any wood part. half composite sticks have part synthetic material, part wood.

Overall, fibreglass is just a material used to make a stick composite.

Wood hockey sticks tend to be better as they reduce stick shock on a cold day (where the stick vibrates when hitting the ball), however, composite have a huge amount of power when striking the ball.

How is a field hockey stick made?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depending on the type of stick: * A wooden base is carved from a strong timber. It is then smoothed off and painted. * Layers of various types of carbon fibre are laid together in a mould with resin. As the resin dries, more layers are added until it reaches the final size. The two halves are then placed together and more fibre and ersin is added around them to bind them. When it is finished, the outside will be smoothed off and the stick painted and capped. * A wooden beam is carved from timber. Layers of composite material (fibres and resin) are then added to create the shape of the stick. The final product is finished off, painted and capped.

How many hockey sticks do players go through?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Too many to list.

There would be upwards of 50 hockey stick suppliers around the world. Each has several lines (taken to mean between 5 and 10, depending on the size and focus of the company), and each line usually has between 5 and 10 sticks - some with many more. Besides this, there are extras like goalkeeping sticks, of which most companies make two or three (on average) and choices in stick such as length and weight, and for ice hockey the curve as well. Basically, you are looking at ten thousand sticks in total.
