Last night's Devil-Lightning game, the announcer said about Jager changing stick companies, that Combat(his previous stick choice) went bankrupt. Any truth to that?
Hockey shops are kinda of like big foot here in florida. There's a few around buy must suck. Saveology (Miami area, panthers practice facility or at least was), RDV( maitland, north of orlando) and Brandon Ice Forum( lightning practice facility) are probably the 3 best pro shops in the state. Central florida doesn't have hockey stores besides play it again and RDV's pro shop. The Tampa area haves a couple rinks in fairly close together. I don't know south florida all that well though.
I used the Sakic curve for years until I started to work on my shot a lot and found I always fired pucks well high. I swapped to the kovalchuck curve( similar to p88 but I believe it's a lie 4) and took about 2 inches off that height of my stick and EVERYTHING improved. Stick handling and puck protection was better because I had the puck closer to my body(I'm a small guy) my shot I was able to get the puck up fast for in tight and now when I shot I don't hit the rafters.
