well, honestly? when i play forward, sherwood featherlight. its wooden, but trust me. best stick ever. otherwise, warrior.

CCM Vectors are the shit. I highly recommend picking one up. I hear that the Reebok O sticks break easily but I haven't actually used one before.

Well, I'd say depending on the position you play, you should invest in the right stick for what your role is on the ice. I play defense, have always used a wood stick and recently bought major stock in the RBK 2K, 40KP/85MS (They were on sale so I bought a fuck-ton of them). Nice solid piece of lumber that is really durable. I've tried the 3k's (Wood P38's) for a while because they were a bit lighter but found they had too much whip to them and in most cases couldn't stand up to the rigors of the position so I switched back to the 2k's. So yeah, I'd say depending on the position you play, go for a twig that is the proper fit.

I think I know what Sherwood you're talking about, Irony. Those seem like a pretty bang-on stick. Never used Warrior sticks but I had a pair of their gloves. Seem like they make some decent gear as well.

Side note; I've tried using a composite stick once, and I honestly don't know what all the hype is about them. I hated the dame thing. Also, that is all you can buy in my town now, it seems. When I need a new batch of sticks, I always have to travel an hour or so out of town to get the sticks I like which rots my arse.
