Have you ever wondered why hockey
players destroy their sticks before the
game even starts? Some people think
they're just ruining expensive sticks,
but breaking them is actually necessary.
You've probably seen players bending or
slamming their sticks inside the locker
room before a game. These professional
hockey sticks are made from carbon
fiber, and a single stick can cost over
$300. Even though a stick can look
perfectly fine on the outside, you can't
always tell if it's already damaged
inside. So before the game, they test
the stick's flexibility to make sure it
doesn't break at the worst possible moment.
