Abstract:
A hockey-stick includes a blade and a shaft. The blade includes a heel region, a toe region spaced longitudinally from the heel region, and a mid-region located between the heel region and the toe region. The blade optionally also includes a hosel to which the shaft is attached. One or more tuning rods or similar structures are positioned in the blade to increase the blade's stiffness to substantially match the stiffness of the shaft. The tuning rods are optionally located in the mid-region of the blade and may extend into the hosel and, in some cases, into the shaft or the toe region.

Claim (Index 17):
A hockey-stick blade, comprising:\n a heel region; a toe region spaced from the heel region in a longitudinal direction; a mid-region located between the heel region and the toe region;\n two core elements located at least in the mid-region, the two core elements each including a front face and a rear face, the two core elements defining a vertical spacing, wherein the vertical spacing is greater near the front faces and the rear faces than in between the front faces and the rear faces, wherein a first tuning rod runs along adjacent edges of the front faces of the two core elements, and a second tuning rod runs along adjacent edges of the rear faces of the two core elements.
