Didn’t curve a single one over a pot of boiling water? Rookie.

We have a pile of them here, from almost every youth tourney my son has played (now 16). So yes, they are still made

The griffins one is so vintage that brings back a lot of memories at van andel arena

My kids got 2 each for Christmas. They have bendable blades so you can put a curve on them now.

Rare for me to come across Vipers gear in the wild. That was my favorite Detroit team growing up.

You can buy carbon ones now.
IceRanger51
Yep, there’re even really nice carbon ones that have curves already in them.

Used to drive my dad nuts playing in my room above the living room.

Im a simple man. I see Hartford Whalers merchandise, I upvote.

That Sharks tendy stick! Yeah they still make them, I have a bunch of old ones associated with our franchise, but yeah they still sell new ones at the pro shop at the ice here. Not often but they do pop up. Edit: that vipers one is awesome too.

Tournaments in the hotel halls
I remember I had a hockey teammate and his elementary school allowed mini sticks; 6-8 year old me was pissed my school didn’t lol
And hell yeah, I bought a set during lockdowns. Cardio baby

Getting blasted in the face with a tennis ball during mini sticks is a key childhood memory of the 90s.

I remember playing mini stick hockey against my older brother and his friends. We beat them and I subsequently had one of those chucked at my forehead

Wow I wish I still had mine
Suspicious-Dog2876
Reminds me of being 10 years old, snapped one and glued it back together then put a fake Matts Sundin signature on it and went to my friends to play. Gave it to him to take a shot and of course it snapped and he thought he just broke my prized new stick 🤣

The purist in me loves these ones
The “I’m too tall for this shit” makes me like the carbon longer ones
But what is mandatory is the BLUE FOAM BALL. No pucks, ONLY blue foam ball.

No sticks but a couple mini tendy helmets.

The new ones are replicas of the $400 sticks, pretty cool. They were a huge thing and sold out everywhere this Christmas, at least up here.
stupidlazysluggish
The new ones are great

I have a Flames goalie stick when I went to Calgary for games n some 88 Olympics ,I believe they put some Mystery ones out lately
I_am_Spartacus_MSU
I have one from Ferris State.

Griffins AND Vipers?! Those were the two teams my brother and I played mini sticks as. Same teams, different designs. Very cool.

Not since Marty St.Louis retired.

I have a North Stars goalie mini stick… one of my most prized possessions!
k_jones
They do. Composite replicas of regular sticks and they charge $40 for them.
TiredReader87
Not that I’ve seen
I had a number of them. My friend, cousins and I used to play mini sticks all the time, in my garage or my grandparents’ basement…until someone dented the furnace
Enough-Art9905
Spent many weekends at hockey tournaments playing mini sticks in the hallways. Good times.

I have a San Jose Skates one. They were a roller hockey team

I loved playing mini sticks with my little step-brother. Sadly, our parents split up (amicably).
​
I once went to “slapshot” the ball to him and accidentally hit the floor, causing the stick to snap and smack him in the face somehow. I felt so bad about it because I could tell that hurt, but we both laughed about it later on.

was never happier to have complete carpet burn on both knees 🥹

Yes they do let’s go blues!!

Such great memories in the school yard at recess and lunch time. We would play in our snow pants on the snow covered pavement. The curves some kids would come to school with was ridiculous.
mckeenmachine
You never put them over the stove to get a dirty curve in it?!

Blues one goes hard for some reason.

I’d kick your ass in some knee hockey bro

Pucks or balls? Lets hear it!

I have the habs one, and as a kid, had it signed by benoit brunet back in the 90’s

Yes but now the little bastards get mini composites etc….
