What is Professional Hockey Stick Manufacturing?
Professional hockey stick manufacturing turns carbon fiber Materialien into hockey sticks. This is done through molding, curing, and finishing. These days, hockey stick making uses carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) construction with epoxy resin.
It also uses a resilent foam core to get the strength-to-weight ratio just right for players. The manufacturing process involves layering pre-preg carbon fiber sheets, compression molding, and CNC finishing.
FIH Compliance Standards
Field hockey sticks must pass through a ring of 51 mm diameter, as well as comply with limits on handle deviation that are set by the International Hockey Federation specifications. Conversely, NHL ice hockey sticks require a maximum length of 63 inches. Blade length must not go past 12.5 inches, with a width between 3–4 inches.
Manufacturing Timeline
The complete manufacturing cycle takes around 2 hours from the first carbon fiber preparation to finish stick production, significantly faster than traditional wooden stick manufacturing processes.
| Manufacturing Stage | Prozess | Duration | Temperature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-preg Preparation | Carbon fiber cutting and layup | 30 minutes | Room temperature |
| Compression Molding | High pressure curing | 60 minutes | 300 °F (149 °C) |
| CNC Fertigstellung | Precision machining | 20 minutes | Room temperature |
| Quality Testing | Flex and impact validation | 10 minutes | Room temperature |

How does Advance Carbon Fiber Manufacturing Work?
Advanced carbon fiber manufacturing begins with pre-preg sheet preparation, where carbon fiber fabrics are impregnated with partially cured epoxy resin and cut to precise specifications for optimal fiber orientation. The layup process involves strategically positioning unidirectional and bidirectional carbon fiber sheets in alternating directions to maximize tensile strength and structural integrity.
Shaft Construction Process
- 15-20 pre-preg carbon fiber sheets wrapped around precision aluminum mandrels
- Consistent wall thickness maintenance of ±0.1 mm tolerance for durable construction
- Air injection during molding prevents internal deformation in one-piece design
- Automated molding equipment ensures repeatable quality for manufacture consistency
Blade Manufacturing Specifications
- Foam core inserts with densities ranging from 60-120 kg/m³ for optimal blade characteristics
- 35+ carbon fiber layers for optimal impact absorption and durability
- Strategic reinforcement zones for high-stress areas in composite ice hockey stick construction
- Weight balancing through calculated foam distribution for enhanced player control
Curing and Quality Control
Autoclave curing systems maintain precise temperature control at 300 °F (149 °C) with pressure ranges of 85-100 PSI for 30–60 minutes. Post-curing processes include CNC trimming, surface preparation, and dimensional inspection using coordinate measuring machines (CMM).
