Abstract:
A hockey-stick 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 toe region includes one or more reinforcing elements, optionally of different lengths, located at different vertical positions within the toe region. The blade further includes a hosel that optionally is tailored to substantially match the strength and stiffness characteristics of an attached or integral hockey-stick shaft. The mid-region of the blade exhibits improved feel and flexibility characteristics due to the increased stiffness in the toe region.

Claim (Index 7):
A hockey-stick blade including a front face, and a rear face spaced from the front face in a lateral direction, 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; a plurality of core elements positioned between the front face and the rear face a plurality of structural ribs separating the plurality of core elements; and wherein the plurality of core elements includes at least an upper core element and a lower core element, wherein a first reinforcing element is positioned on a lower surface and a front face or a rear face of the upper core element and on a portion of a first structural rib of the plurality of structural ribs, and a second reinforcing element is positioned on an upper surface and a front face or a rear face of the lower core element and on a portion of a second structural rib of the plurality of structural ribs.
