A special occasion rolls around and you finally get that hockey stick you’ve always wanted. For this writer it was his Mission M-1 on the first day of Hanukkah at age 10. You arrive at the rink to show off your new twig but before you know it the thing is snapped into two pieces. How could this possibly have happened?
No, it wasn’t from taking a test shot with it in the dressing room. It’s not from getting it caught in any sort of doorway either. It happened because one of your idiot friends decided to test its flex and just took things too far. We summed up the whole situation pretty well in our latest video.
Okay, so the culprit usually offers to buy a new one. Heck, sticks these days usually have warranty on them. But it’s still not the one that your parents picked out for you at the hockey store themselves.
It’s just not the same.
Speaking of trips to the hockey store, those can be pretty tough at times, too. Well, at least when you’re looking for one specific piece of equipment...
Let this all be a lesson. If your buddy cruises into the room feeling all good about him/herself about a fancy new stick their parents purchased for them, just keep your paws off of it. You definitely don’t want to end up like that Luca guy and find yourself $200 in the hole.
