I'm going to say the piece of wood was around 4.5 - 5 inches. I'm going to go take it out on the back deck right now, and put it to more of a test then I did last night. I actually think its over 60, don't know the exact price but remember I am in Canada.

I didn't say It would hold.. But so far, I've taken a few slap shots and it hasnt split. I was going to take it out on the ice this morning but I thought it'd just break first shot I'd take so it'd be a waste of time.

So, last night I was pretty bored and I couldn't stop glancing over at my Vector 10.0 that I broke quite a while ago, and I kept thinking to myself I really liked that stick but I can't remember what it was like. So I decided to fix it myself as an experiment without coughing up the 60$ or whatever it is. What I did was I cut the two broken ends off of the two pieces. I then took a piece of "Purple Heart" wood (no specific reason for that wood). I cut the wood/shaved it down so it would fit perfectly inside the shaft. I glued it into the half with the blade let it cool then glued it into the shaft piece, pushing the two pieces of the stick together over the wood. So far so good. Looks not bad, I'll let you be the judge. P.S its not like i'm actually goin to use this stick as my best stick, i'm just doing an experiment.

Monty I like the colour scheme on your mitts, and I was just wondering how are you liking the 10.0 skates?

I just went to Canadian Tire and bought some Latex paint. I used steel wool, to make it have a flat black look to it, and to shave off the bumps or places where there was too much paint.

Those skates are sick! Thanks for the pics Jonesie/JR. I love looking at pics of the NHL dressing rooms.

I am ordering a NHL team glove in the next month. Either Columbus, or Tampa Bay. I would get Carbon and my name and number and Mia written under neath the cuff (bottom of glove, is that custom or does that come on every glove?) I'm just stuck on palm and Foam. I really want a glove to last me atleast two years. Just long enough for me to get out of minor hockey (until I get to junior). For palms I am thinking Kangaroo, but for foam I have no Idea. What is a palm that will last a long time, and same with foam and which foam is more protective? Do the plastic inserts on the one foam do anything different? And how much money are those gloves looking at right now? (with the things on them that I said) Thanks for the help

Erm....... lol! Thats insane! I have 2 Z bubbles and a Stealth and people on my team think thats too much!!!! Whats your fave of the bunch? Yeah, alot of people say people have alot of sticks, when they have like 3 BTW, Is that Adrenaline Nilson, the same curve as the Synergy Nilson? or close to the same curve as that Response+ beside it?
