Hockey Stick And Method Of Use

Abstract

A hockey stick for improving puck control and striking includes an elongate handle, which is graspable in hands of a user. A blade is engaged to and extends from a lower end of the elongate handle. The blade is bifurcated distal from the elongate handle, thus defining a conjoined portion, a first element, and a second element of the blade. The conjoined portion and the first element define a first outer face of the blade. The conjoined portion and the second element define a second outer face of the blade. Both the first outer face and the second outer face are arcuate. The first outer face and the second outer face enhance contact of the blade with a puck to improve control and striking of the puck with the blade.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A hockey stick comprising:
 an elongate handle configured for grasping in hands of a user; and   a blade engaged to and extending from a lower end of the elongate handle, the blade being bifurcated distal from the elongate handle defining a conjoined portion, a first element, and a second element of the blade, the conjoined portion and the first element defining a first outer face of the blade, the conjoined portion and the second element defining a second outer face of the blade, and the first outer face and the second outer face being arcuate, wherein the first outer face and the second outer face are configured for enhancing contact of the blade with a puck for improving control and striking of the puck with the blade.   
     
     
         2 . The hockey stick of  claim 1 , wherein the first element is dimensionally longer than the second element. 
     
     
         3 . The hockey stick of  claim 1 , wherein the second outer face is less arcuate than the first outer face. 
     
     
         4 . A method for improving control and striking of a puck with a blade of a hockey stick, the method comprising the steps of:
 providing to a user a hockey stick comprising:
 an elongate handle, and 
 a blade engaged to and extending from a lower end of the elongate handle, the blade being bifurcated distal from the elongate handle defining a conjoined portion, a first element, and a second element of the blade, the conjoined portion and the first element defining a first outer face of the blade, the conjoined portion and the second element defining a second outer face of the blade, and the first outer face and the second outer face being arcuate; 
   grasping of the elongate handle in hands of the user;   accepting a puck onto a respective one of the first outer face and the second outer face; and   striking the puck with the respective one of the first outer face and the second outer face.   
     
     
         5 . A hockey stick comprising:
 an elongate handle configured for grasping in hands of a user; and   a blade engaged to and extending from a lower end of the elongate handle, the blade being bifurcated distal from the elongate handle defining a conjoined portion, a first element, and a second element of the blade, the conjoined portion and the first element defining a first outer face of the blade, the conjoined portion and the second element defining a second outer face of the blade, and the first outer face and the second outer face being arcuate, wherein the first outer face and the second outer face are configured for enhancing contact of the blade with a puck for improving control and striking of the puck with the blade, the first element being dimensionally longer than the second element, the second outer face being less arcuate than the first outer face.
