Christian had the "Curtis Curve" first I believe. I had a red one, Beaupre pattern. You were supposed to hold the stick at the bend which took a lot of pressure off your wrist/forearm, and kept your blocker in better position. The only problem was you couldn't handle hard drives on the ice while holding it there. The stick would spin and most of the time go though you. Poke checking was thrown off considerably. The top bend was supposed to make it easier to pick up off the ice. It also added a ton a leverage which made shooting with it awesome lol. They should have dropped the handle curve and had a straight shaft with the top bend only. That would have been highly illegal but awesome. im pretty sure andy moog used one for a while in his bruin days... You are correct sir. I was going to mention that :P
