How much does the average hockey stick costs that a NHL player breaks?

Question

I see them break all the time on TV and was wondering how much money those composite pro-model sticks costs vs the wood ones? I don't play hockey so I have no clue.

Answer 1

The average NHL player buys an Easton carbon shaft that costs $200-$300 alone. Add on a blade that costs anywhere from an additional $50-$100, and your looking at the $300-$400 range....

That is, unless you use a classic Sherwood Wooden stick, like Al Maccinis and Wayne Gretzky did, then your paying $30-$50 per stick.

Answer 2

The pro stock stick are custom made for players which they dont pay for. But retail of those same sticks would be 150-300$

Answer 3

Actual professional one piece sticks are easily 200$+.

The sticks you buy at your local sports store are not the pro version UNLESS it says on the stick and it will be very clear it is a pro stick because there is no warranty on it. Regular sticks carry a 30 day warranty.

Whoever thinks a one piece professional stick is 75$ is kidding himself.

Answer 4

Depending on the stick, they can range anywhere from $75 to $200. Don't worry though, most of the players don't pay for their sticks anyways...

Answer 5

I don't think it costs them a thing.

I've heard that there are actually a few players still using wood (approx. $70) but that most are now with composite ($200-$300).

Answer 6

300$$$$

Answer 7

well, i got my carbon stick for $200, and it is pretty top of the line, but i am sure the pros sticks are way more expensive than that.

Answer 8

NOTHING.....
Most of the players are under contract by the dealers and get their equipment for free
