Pick up a hockey stick. You hold an iconic symbol of the place that gave it birth, a tangible bit of Canadian culture, a link to Canada’s past. From the earliest one-piece sticks, carved from tree... This description may be from another edition of this product.
An excellent book on the history and evolution of the hockey stick. From tree trunks and roots to graphite and composites. Includes some interesting stories along the way. The many companies, countries, and individuals who have entered this odd and (suprisingly) profitable industry is also quite interesting. The book is well written, and does not bore. It is not just a quaint nostalgic look back at the old days, like i feared it would be. An excellent read.
