Luke Richardson was using a one90 shaft with the lightning last year, not sure what he has been using since.

Adrian Aucoin uses a RBK woodie as well (3K)

I'm pretty sure Aucoin (as well as Brisbois and Hamrlik in MTL) have all switched from wood to OPS.

Aucoin is using a wooden RBK still. Hamrlik is switching between OPS Sickicks and Sickick shafts with wooden blades.

XXXX OPS by the looks of things

So nobody uses a TPS shaft. Funny because I saw a picture recently of someone in the NHL with a TPS 2 piece and I find it hard to believe that Chris higgins is only one of 3 players using a Bauer shaft. One thing I trust with those figures is that Easton is definitely the dominant company in sticks.

I agree I am fairly certain I have seen more than 3 Bauer shafts just recently there was a thread with Goncher having one I have seen Smith use one, I am sure there are more.

Pretty sure S. Niedermayer uses a Bauer shaft as well.

I would suspect there are more than 81 players using Warrior.

Kind of odd to see zero easton woodies out there...and who's using the 8 CCM/RBK woodies? I'm not even aware of a high end CMM/RBK wood stick.

Joe Vasicek used RBK woodie all season.

Aucoin is using the 3k, I was at the game on sunday and they had his stick for sale there and it was an RBK 3K woodie.

I do have a question about that, is that the same stick as any retail 3K(only one i have seen is painted red and his is normal) or do they do something more special for guys in the nhl using wood.

NBH Official line at the recent NBH Pro Sales meeting in Munich is that they are on par with Easton for numbers, with more than 30% of the NHL composite stick market. They also said that Easton have moved production to China.
