Stick plug

[mnpucker 33]

Does anyone know where to get shaft plugs. I am talking about the one's that come in new sticks not wooden extensions. A kid I coach cut his pinky open because his plug was gone. No matter how much you remind them to use safe equipment they still let things slide.

Now I checked mine and my boys and they are all about to bust out. When I initially cut to length I wrap a piece of tape around the insert and add a little glue. They last a long time but eventually they begin to break apart.

I am in MPLS and I do not recall ever seeing them for sale.

Hmmmm maybe this is why so many sticks on the shel are missing them.

Another solution is to get a wood plug (even an old wood blade would do) and cut it flush against the shaft.

when i brake a wooden blade i cut the curve off it and make it into an extension or an endplug, just whatever i need at the time

Howdy, fellow MPLS guy here.

I pick up a wood plug from a hockey shop, cut the tenon into a few short plugs, and put them in the end. It adds minimal weight and seals off the end to prevent injury.

I have a bag full of like 20 just sitting here, I don't use them because I but in a wooden plug and cut it flush

In the USA hockey regulated league I found out from a ref recently that a stick with no plug (wood or the little plastic cap) counts as a broken stick technically; not directly on topic but I thought I'd mention...
