What hockey stick should I get?

Hey, I have been playing street hockey (no roller blades) for about six or seven years now and I was wondering what stick I should get. I started off as a goalie then moved up to offense and used a wooden stick for the past three or four years. I just picked up a CCM Vector (Mark Recchi) around May or so. I have been using it and it is great, but is there any other stick that is good for around the same price (anywhere from $60-$110). I play both offense and defense and I am 14. Is there any stick or shaft and blade combo that is good like my vector and is around my price range?





Oh, by the way. I play from late November to March then May to September. The courts our rec league plays on are concrete and those squares with the whole in them.





Thanks.

I think everyone is missing the fact that you play on concrete. As sticks would wear down quite a bit on concrete don%26#039;t go for anything too expensive. They have come out with sticks designed for street hockey and that might be a good choice. They hold up well and wear down similar to a super blade.





Good luck!
Reply:Sticks are like the clothes you wear...you gotta find one that makes you comfortable. Go to a good hockey store in your area or maybe a ***** Sporting Goods and just check them out. How do you like your blade? How heavy? Wood or graphite? All of these factors go into what you will be successful with...personally, my favorite stick was a Teemu Selanne Titan...it has a blade that you can get a wicked wrist shot with!
Reply:You could pick up a Easton Synergy Si-Core Grip if you really wanted one for around $110. This is an amazing stick, I used it when it first came out.





And at the Price it is at its a good deal.

If not i would go for the CCM Vector 120, its only about 79.99 CDN right now and it used to be a top of the line stick.
