perfect timing for this topic to come up again.

now, i can't remember what stick i first used...but, i was out at my old mans game last tuesday. he and one of his buddies and i were joking about equipment, since his buddy just got his 6th pair of skates in his career, and he's been skating for 40+ years... and he remembers every pair he's owned!

they were lauging about their sticks they used to buy when they were kids. my dad says, i used to buy the Northland Pro's... they cost me $2.50, and that was cuz i couldn't afford the Custom model for $3.25.

they got their skates sharpened and bought equiment at the local Hardware Stores!

talk about the "good ole days"

I believe mine was a sher-wood, I was 7 and I think it was black with white letters. For a few years after that i was into the easton aluminums alot.

man..if you're first stick was a Turbo, they were $50 in a time of $14 woodies...and tanks to boot..I never could understand how Bossy, Kerr etc could flex those ...

I'm pretty sure I started with a Vic...maybe a Northland..but I'm pretty sure it was a Vic...

it was one of those crappy sticks with the holes in the blades.

The same for me! such good times! When i broke it slashing it on the ground i feeled so bad because i didnt have another one for backup! :lol:

I hate when kids blame their brand new OPS just to look though!

My first real stick was a red Franklin 2 piece with plastic blade from wally world. The thing was a tank I put a wood blade in it and used it for street hockey, You couldnt break it if you wanted to, trust me I tried :D

Did you tell him that some of these young pups nowdays have mom and dad buy them 6 pairs of skates in ONE year? :lol: He probably would have keeled over.

Well I can't remember my first stick but my first shaft was a orange nike shaft right when they first got into the business. Then I got really excited when I got my top of the line easton grip shaft with the green ultralite blade.
