My first stick was a Vic jr. straight blade woodie back in the early 80's, what a POS. From there, I had (and still have) a Koho jr. wood stick w/fiberglass blade. ...huge gap in time... used a few Sher-Wood 5030's (Coffey), a couple Jofa ASD something-hundred w/ABS blade, Cyclone shaft, Flyweight shaft, int. Response (first year)... more stuff I shouldn't have bought (see arsenal thread)... R-2, Synthesis (still using), and most recently an M-2 shaft.

So first stick ever: Vic jr. straight blade

First shaft: Easton Cyclone 95

First OPS: TPS Response int. (first year model) Messier pattern

[Shorthanded67 0]

1) All wood sticks (assorted brands).

2) Easton Aluminum Pro Gold w/ wood blade

3) Easton Ultra Lite w/ wood blade

4) Easton Ultra Lite w/ graphite blade (the GB2!)....used these for a real long time, several years.

5) Easton Z-Bubble Grip w/ graphite blade

6) Easton Synergy

7) Discovered the original EMB/CB/MSH and all hell broke loose. Started using Inno, Mission, TPS assorted OPS and shaft/blade combos...may be stuck on this step for a while.

I started back in the day with sher woods, then roller koho ultimates. when ultra lites came out I used those exclusively for a while, then I went on my bauer 3030 kick, I'd buy them a dozen at a time in a p71 pattern. back to ultra lites, then synergys(used other OPS over time but went back to synergys), around christmas got an l-2, then early january got two innovative shafts with sakic wood blades.

[McCabe24 0]

first aluminum was a red easton

became a goalie and used a Montreal and a Roy Koho Montreal colours

returned to skater and used some Easton Gretzky aluminums for a few seasons

had a Nike woodie and a CCM 652 tacks woodie

had a nike shaft one year along with a VIC woodie and a Z-carbon

Kitchner wood stick -> Easton aluminium shaft (x2) (V-Form or V-Factor - the blue one in 90 flex) -> Easton Cyclone aluminium shaft -> Easton Ultra-Lite (x2) -> Exel Matrix 6001 -> CCM Catapult -> CCM V110 shaft -> Franklin Sceptor -> Mission M1 -> Bauer TFG shaft.

Still got the last four. Prefer the V110 shaft.

for junior sticks i went from a teal easton aluminum to a louisville lockjaw shaft to a bauer composite shaft to a green zbubble shaft to a tps redlite shaft

For senior sticks i had another bauer composite a sherwood 9950 to a tps response back to the 9950 and now i use a synthesis

Tooooo many to mention..but oddly enough I do remember my first "real" stick. A Canadien STRAIGHT BLADE with enough fibreglass wrapped around the blade to make a modern day Kayak! (lasted forever when I retired it to road hockey).

Countless Koho's, Sher-Woods, Torspo's (for those who remember them - great sticks) and Titan's. Sher-Wood Aluminum, Easton Aluminum's and since my first Ultra-Lite - Darn near every stick that has been released.

[Buzz_LightBeer 963]

[joshy207 15]

First sticks... a Northland and a Wilson.

First aluminum shaft... Easton 4810 (I think that was the number...)

First composite shaft... Easton Ultralite 100.

First (and only) OPS... Itech Busch, Malakhov pro-return.

[Eazy_b97 1]

Junior Christian sticks (the little ones with a 2 flex rating)

Easton Gretzky Aluminum -> UL w/ junior huge hooks --> Grip Lites and Rubbers w/ Naslunds Woods or Ozlinish (SP?) woods --> kept those for about 1.5 years with alot of blades, then sqitched to those Easton Ultra graphite blades, then switched to Z-tac or whatever blades because the UG were breaking every 2 weeks. First OPS Synergy grip Lidstrom $100 (first stick I paid for myself) --> JUNKLOAD OF OPS --> Si-Core Grip and a Stealth at the Fed-Ex Depot right now.

Current Stick: TPS Response shaft w/ R2 blade

I'm going to see if I can remember them all...

-Mylec plastic bottom

-Cooper plastic bottom

-Koho aluminum

-Easton A/C 7000

-Innovative dark blue graphite (I remember the hockey shop had two innovative sticks then, the dark blue graphite smooth and the black and blue one with the rough texture for grip)

-Easton Ultralite (lasted me for four years)

-Innovative 3000 graphite shaft

-Easton Typhon

-Easton Synergy

-Bauer Tri-flex Gold

-Mission M-1 Grip

-Bauer Vapor XX

I think that's it, I know I'm forgetting some somewhere. Sticks I had that were the same (like the Ultralite and Vapor XX) but were at different times in the progression I left off the list.

[roadrunner 12]

ok I'll give it a shot. Just shafts and sticks I've used more than a season though.

-Koho Revolution

-Countless wood shaft with plastic blades

-Sherwood 7001

-Kitchener

-Mission Flyweight

-Z-Bubble Grip 100flx (only shaft I ever broke)

-Z-Bubble 100flx (warranty replacement)

-Tps Redlite XN10(in its 5th game)

I decided not to list sticks that I was on and off with. All of these were used no less than 20 games except the TPS
