At $300+ per stick, it's a costly issue as well...

Why do they cost so much?

The dried baby seal blood that lines the blade is NOT cheap.

They cost more because of the material and time it takes to make one. You pay for what you get, and many players in the NHL want the best.

Composite​

These sticks are now used by about 85 percent of NHL players. They come in one piece or two piece sticks, with a shaft and replaceable blades. They are much lighter and more flexible than wood sticks but are more expensive. There are currently many companies that will also custom make a stick for you. The main problem with composite sticks is their tendency to break. Remember they are built to shoot the puck harder not for longevity.

With the amount of money they are paying Kovy, I guess they have to do whatever they can to make money now.
