Wood Stick Game

[Marty]

Really good idea. Do the same thing with baseball bats. Make it so all kids, from HS on down have to use wood. Revives a faded Minnesota industry, keeps more money in parents' pockets, and puts all kids on the same level sheet of ice.

Problem with traditional wood bats is that they don't last two innings in even the 40+ leagues.

But they're now making bats out of some kind of bamboo laminate..."Wood" bat without the breakage issues.

Wood bats survive entire tournaments and then some. Bamboo bats are cheaper alternatives, but they can break too.

Some hitting coaches have their players using wood bats all winter.

According to Twitter at least six sticks broke in this game haha

6 broken wood sticks still doesn't equal the cost of breaking one stick today.
