I used a ccm rocker hook, bugger was really heavy and flexed amazingly in the early 70’s. it was probably the best for me at the time. I also used a straight stick like Dave Keon for stick handling and back hand shots, until I was 13 years of age.
From a practical sense, I understand that decent new gear gives you a better chance at having more flex, the correct blade curve, etc. but how much of it really comes down to the shooting technique and good strength and conditioning? Same for decent skates vs. top of line skates (if they are both using LS2 blades, how much difference is there?)
@@Colbyw74 Some gear is just too much. Over topped pants are pretty crap for movement and I remember having RBK 9K elbow pads, forgot one home and borrowed my friends 11K's and I couldn't even get my arm straight. Fucking horrible, had to go back to swap someone elses pads who werent on ice that day.
Yes, Titans were made in Finland. I think there's a documentary here in youtube about it. If I remember correctly it was some Master of Science - engineer who thought he could make a good hockey stick using early sort of composite stick materials wood stregthened by fiber glass, his background was manufacturing sports equipment but mainly (cross country) skis. Sticks being good at the time were elevated by their colorful / red theme at a time when sticks were mainly unfinished wood without graphics. edit: 3:27 funnily enough I think CCM purchased Titan so they did look in to the "ultra glass" 😂😂
I used the Red Titan before the white one came out. I think they discontinued it because it was hard to break. The 1st generation Red one was used and endorsed by Gretzky in 1980-81.
So sad my playing days were ended by an injury before the Carbon Fiber era. On the other hand, the prices would have bankrupted me. Got to handle a stick and lift a pair of new skates. Just one of my old Bauer 2000's weighs twice as much as a pair of new skates and a stick. You people are so lucky (and probably broke).
I loved this video. I just opened up the last two Montréal sticks with the M95 blade from back in my prep hockey days 22 years ago. Had to slap on the ol Vick mitts and shoot a few.. Still a great stick!
those aluminum sticks were sick but the best stick i ever used was a nike shaft with an easton carbon blade. this is like the last year before the old times ended and before synergy's took over.
My son used the same set up. Couldn’t pry the Bauer shaft out of his hands. He broke two blades in one game and had to get a blade from a teammate and it was an Easter blade already taped. Never looked back. He said he loved how rigid the Easton blade was. I can’t remember the flex of his shaft. (Nobody get dirty) He had a Mission and one other stick but he never liked either.
I played goal, we didn't even get to have a curve in our stick so trying to score a goal by using your leg as a fulcrum and flipping the puck was the only option, I was lucky to get it through the neutral zone. Goalie sticks didn't have curved blades until the mid-80s, Patrick Roy (1986) is the first goalie I recall using a curved blade.
I started out playing defence at 6 years old, only scored 6 goals over 4 years so sniping was never a thing for me. I could hit the puck pretty hard, just couldn't aim to well like Foggy Nelson when he played for the Mighty Ducks.
I am getting back into hockey joining a beer leauge after 15 years of not playing since Highschool Ice hockey. When I went to the pro shop I was in the future. Fucking Space age technology it was crazy.
Same, also had Sherwood and Christians. The "M9" was my blade of choice for most sticks. Started with a Northland with a straight blade, then moving on to Canadians, 6001 & 7001, before moving onto aluminum. A bunch of years back, went into the pro shop at local rink and asked the two "kids" that were working there, if they still sold replacement blades for the aluminums? The look on their faces was priceless, as in, what planet are you from? Oh, by the way, I was there to finally replace my precious 651 Vak Tacks.
@@davidschumaker8107 I played with hand me down gear for years , my dad had a pair of those armadillo thumb gloves but thankfully I never had to use those 😁
@@Govanmauler I'm almost 62, and my 1st gloves were just a bit newer than those gloves. Not sure of what brand they were, but they did have a small steel plate in the thumb, which eventually wore thru the leather. Removed the laces due to restriction and found out rather quickly that you needed to wear thin winter gloves inside of your hockey gloves when playing pond hockey in upstate NY, frostbite sucks!
I think there is an argument here for wearing something for the "essence." Since we live in a throw away culture the thought of repairing a worn out jersey or stick is not really at the forefront of players mind. But I like to keep vintage trinkets for the history, the story! Also to remember we are living off of the momentum of those that came before us! #blackhistoryhockey #blackhistorymonth #hockeylife #BHM
Gretzky going from Titan to aluminum took many goals from his career number. Aluminum sticks were terrible for shooting , but I suspect he was getting a generous check to use it.
I remember my first composite stick, was an Easton typhoon with a Easton force flex blade (sakic curve) grew up playing with old wood koho sticks. My first one piece composite was a tps response. I even tried that weird triangle shaped stick
I have on my wall an EPOKSYD SUPER vintage hockey stick without a curve with literally no flex. I think this twig is around 80 years old? I dont know but its very old hockey stick.
my favourite pattern was the titan Gretzky model until titan changed it to Ryan Smith which was Gretzky's original pattern , wooden sticks are far more durable and cheaper than todays stick , I was not going to buy hockey sticks made in Mexico .
Leather Tacks with nylon toes, Cooper leather gloves and a wooden Koho stick, which was way lighter than the Northland I used prior. Ah, the early 1970s…
I wanted a TPS Response so bad but my parents would never lol. Eventually got an aluminum two piece lmao. I wanted to get the synergy blade but you know, money again.
Aww wood sticks when we called it whip not flex. I liked the Christian brothers whip and remember going to their warehouse store in Warroad. The blades were flat because we made our own curves.
Using a good 30$ wood stick, no stupid bouce on the blade with a pass. On the ice on faceoff, it stick down hard to lift, Use rigth curve and ou grind the ice like a knife. I hate stickhandling with flex one piece stick, it's basicly trying to control a "unsteady puck" bounce.
So, these guys have a bit of strength. What I've noticed is, noodle-armed kids have snipes because of the tech and trust me, I'm old enough to have played against wood/aluminum rocking shooters. Slappers may have been acceptable, but this corner picking snot rocket stuff just wasn't happening unless you had arms.
all due respect the the greats of history but if you put modern goalies in their nhl they probably get 1/2 as many points. not to mention the fact that the skill difference between the top and bottom players that used to be massive isn't really that big anymore. they were great players for sure but they are also a product of their time.
honestly man, i have more heat on my slapshot with a wood stick. but for everything else newer sticks are better. well maybe a wood sticks better for slashing lol
At the end of the day the equipment is only good enough in the right hands. Yeah the game has got faster and the kit lighter, like soccer if you put an old football (soccer ball) at the feet of a professional soccer player they may well break their ankles trying to kick it. So not everything old is bad, sometimes they were much better than the new.
Why does Hayden look like the character in "lady in the water" that only works out with his left arm... I knew a guy who worked construction as a framer and you could tell he could only hammer w his right arm...number

a huge difference in sticks and gloves and ESPECIALLY protective gear is night and day for practicality and safety which is the most important part

🤚 3:35 - British man here, cheers mate 💂🏒
I will only use a real all wood stick. Sherwood is my preferred stick.
I’ve goon from a sherwood wooden stick to a Sherwood composite
coffey blade is what I've used, have a bunch of carbon warrior sticks and still use the old Sherwood featherlite
Yup sHERWOOD PMP 5020.

Very happy to see a coach Jeremy video!

Hey nice video, but I wanted to ask if it is bad to practice with a Hockey Ball to stick handle
I used the kind that you can change the blade. Often made sure that I had an illegal curve.
Me: Sees Jeremy upload
My hand: I’m fast as frick boi
fun vid, the old leather gloves molded to your hands especially when sweaty. those old Titan sticks were pretty stiff as I recall.
Quote by Jeremy
“ YES IM GETTIN ME SOME TIMMIES!!!”
Wow my first stick when I was a kid was an aluminum Easton! Totally forgot about that stick!
I had one too!
We would put wicked curves on our plastic bladed street hockey sticks by shoving the blades into sewer grates to bend them. Real vintage.
Funny as video. Love the old school gloves and I bet they smell fresh as 🤣😂🤣
Best stick was either the jagr black magic or Gretzky shinny Easton. Plus wood stick heat up for own curves
TPS Response was my favourite roller hockey stick!
350 for a stick? C'moon. BAUER X60 was like 150 and top of the line 10 years ago.
and he postssss!!!!!
I actually know a couple guys that prefer wood over the new twigs, they have better control. I use wood as well cuz I snap woods less than carbons
I remember my first composite stick, was an Easton typhoon with a Easton force flex blade (sakic curve) grew up playing with old wood koho sticks. My first one piece composite was a tps response. I even tried that weird triangle shaped stick
Honestly if Wayne Gretzky and the others had modern day gear they would be like a cheat code.
I think the opposite. I think that modern day players would walk all over those guys

At 2:30 nobody gonna talk about the puck exploding

Your vids are good enough my dad enjoys them 👍
Let's make this a challenge in the Allstars game. All old equipment
the battlemode sticks are super cool
I know right!
Those wooden sticks were notorious for getting stuck in between the boars while skating. Got the wind knocked out of me a few times.
Came across this video a little late but i use aluminum in ball hockey and it's great
Leather Tacks with nylon toes, Cooper leather gloves and a wooden Koho stick, which was way lighter than the Northland I used prior. Ah, the early 1970s…
I grew up with Titan sticks, Sher-Wood sticks and Easton sticks. I actually had the Easton Instinct stick. Lol
I wanted a TPS Response so bad but my parents would never lol. Eventually got an aluminum two piece lmao. I wanted to get the synergy blade but you know, money again.
I just read your part ib everyday hockey heroes and all i can say is respect

New gear is definitely better than old gear.
Yaaa Bobby
What buttendz grib does Haden use
the gloves are actually cool
@jeremy Look at skates next..if skate technology and build is so good why were there faster skaters in the 70s and 80 compared to now?
Never clicked so fast

@@CoachJeremy thanks for responding you are like my favorite youtuber
Because I live in the middle of freaking Kansas, I wish that I ever was able to put on some ice skates and get my hands on a stick.

Those old leather gloves help if you get slashed and not much else.
Still got a titan 🤘
I always love videos showing old equipment. But why not at least put some new tape on that wooden twig? They had tape.
try waited gloves and stick then witched mid game in game ??
what cool glasses this guy has, what kind of company?

Try the stick and the gloves in hockey
Where did you buy that Timmies hat? Asking for a friend…
Honestly I think the goalies just sucked back then they did not know about a poke check or a butterfly like the the goalies today.
I’m getting really tired of everyone dissing on goalies
Same I’m a goalie it gets so annoying
Dont be so weird then.
@tomace194 have some fun every once in a while, and maybe we will
theres this one goalie that actually sucks at my rink
Womp womp
To make this test more authentic, they should be shooting pucks after smoking a half pack of darts and hungover.
Glad I live in Finland😂😂
i prefer a wooden stick, just feels right in my hands for how i play, probably because i started out doing shinty
Hi coach Jeremy
love the vids guy,
@coachjeremy where is this facility your at
Still wondering where to pick up the sunnies?!?
You don't!!
Define irony.
I am Canadian and I refuse to wear ROOTS!
Wayne Gretzky did use aluminum sticks for a time
It’s also the defense getting better tho
Sherwood had first composite at 200 bucks in the late 90’s
You are canadian or american?
Calling aluminum Easton sticks vintage really makes me feel old.
those old gloves wouldnt be so stiff if they had been taken care off... oil them up, recondition the leather and they will move and flex ALOT more
I use a vintage titan wooden stick
At the end of the day the equipment is only good enough in the right hands. Yeah the game has got faster and the kit lighter, like soccer if you put an old football (soccer ball) at the feet of a professional soccer player they may well break their ankles trying to kick it.

I dont know bro, Ovechkin just needs to put up 67 more goals. Even though hes slowing downx he can do that it 2 or 3 more seasons.
A professional can play with whatever is in their hands that's why their pros
I miss my aluminum stick loved it
Y’all aim way better then mine
I live in Finland im not good but i love u and Hockey
Titan is owned by CCM
wood sticks have way better feel on the puck
what the heck is the surface grade??
