What is a "hockey stick"?
A hockey stick is a long piece of equipment used in ice hockey or field hockey to hit or carry the puck or ball. It has a flat, curved blade on one end and a straight handle on the other. The blade is used to control the puck or ball, pass it, or shoot it towards the goal. Hockey sticks are typically made of wood, fiberglass, or composite materials, offering strength, flexibility, and lightness. The length of the stick varies based on the player's height and position, allowing for better control and maneuverability during the game.
