Claim Text:
1. In a hockey stick blade of a type having a puck-striking body of weight-imparting construction material inclined at a selected angle for driving a struck puck a corresponding selected height during its trajectory, said body having spaced-apart top and bottom surfaces bounding a striking surface there between, said body of the blade improving aerodynamics and reducing drag force, of the blade swing against the puck, said body having a concave cutout portion, comprising removed construction material from said top surface, said removed material in the form of the concave cutout descending down from a curved tapered top surface of said hockey blade, said concave cutout having a top edge having a sense of curvature with a smaller radius than a larger radius of the tapered top surface of the hockey blade, whereby said removed construction material is removed from a location not used during puck-striking service of said hockey stick blade, and said removed construction material benefits in lightening the overall weight of the said hockey stick blade and thereby reducing drag force against said hockey stick blade, thereby moving the hockey sticks balance point more toward the top of the stick.
