Weighted Hockey Sticks

Recommended Posts

We used to tape 2 pucks on either side of a street hockey stick with a full roll of tape, then slide an olympic 5lb and even 10lb weights over the shaft for dryland training.  You could only stickhandle with it (no shots).  Was it hard?  Yes.  Did it help develop forearm muscles you otherwise didn't really feel while stickhandling?  Yes.


Did it make you a better stick handler?  Probably not.

 

Is the placebo effect real?  Yes.  Even if it didn't physically make you a better stick handler, you psychologically felt stronger holding a non-weighted stick in your hand after training with one.
