this article is about shawn horcoff and how in the offseason he got a new trainer and his hard work..also how he went to the Easton factory and re-designed his sticks and changed them...they mention it twice so it must have been significant..wat did he change from and what did he change to..also do u think it affected him a lot

If he made adjustments to his game, perhaps he changed his stride and body position due to the conditioning...Something like that could require a new lie, and perhaps a different curve as well.

he switches his sticks in shootouts...maybe going back to the old??

If he got stronger then he might have stiffened up his stick, if his posture changed he may have changed his lie.........so on, and so on.

Lots of guys switch sticks during games. Lidstrom uses a different stick for powerplays, for example.

I remember something about him doing it just so he would never worry about breaking one in a shootout or something like that.

Can't remember if it was on Sportnet or TSN, but they talked about this in an interview with him and it was his curve that he changed.

whatever he changed, it sure seems to be working. Last year he was never a 1 shot scorer, he could rarely beat goalies with a mid range snapper/wrister, but he's doing alot more shooting this year, and the puck seems to be rocketing off his stick way faster than it used to. He's also mentioned on local broadcasts that he's worked on his shot over the summer, probably complements his stick changes, but imo his shooting game has vastly improved
