Editorial Do Now

Colt Hockey Stick

The Colt Hockey Stick

The Colt Hockey Stick is one the newest and is definitely the most durable stick on the market.  For all hockey players, breaking sticks is a big problem.  After two to six weeks you break your stick; another 200 down the drain.  Created by a group on Kickstarter, the group dreamed to make unbreakable hockey stick.  The men made their stick different, it is dipped in nano steel.  That is right, the stick is dipped in the durable yet light weight material.  It can withstand 397 pounds of pressure without breaking.  The prices match up with the top line products of other companies in the industry.  However they may have one flaw in their plan: is it so durable that it cannot break, and people cannot by more of these sticks.  The community can only wait to see how a beautiful idea may become a disaster.
