I've never understood this aspect of hockey in all the years I've played.
Why are players so picky/paranoid with their sticks? I've never been picky about sticks... I only make sure it has the flex (~110) then after that... whatever.
Perhaps it's my position as a player? I'm a very defensive D, so I spend more time being physical and blocking shots. Curve, grip, I don't care that much. I've used ruler straight and J curved and never really noticed a difference in my play. I can still throw all my shots almost identically.
Could it be my upbringing? My family didn't have a lot of money, so I always just got what was on sale/last years stock. Could my formative years of never using the same feel for long have made me adaptable to the stick style?
Or am I just really unique about this? I've met maybe 1 other guy in my life who doesn't care either. Is the stick thing more of a myth than a reality?
