Different Conditions, Different Prices
As you may or may not know, NHLers and other pro teams typically keep several dozen sticks in storage to use at their disposal. Furthermore, they often change their sticks to try a different flex, curve, or model to find the perfect stick for them or just simply when new models come out. As a result, all their sticks are replaced, giving us the opportunity to get a hand on new, as good as new, and slightly used hockey sticks. Each stick condition comes with a different price tag, which gives each player the ability to get top-of-the-line sticks while respecting their personal budget.
Note: HockeyOnSale does not sell refurbished hockey sticks.
New Sticks
Those are, as their name suggests, simply new! Never been cut, never been taped, just new hockey sticks that can't wait to hit the ice for the first time.
As Good As New Sticks
These are mostly sticks that have been taped, cut, but never really had the chance to hit the ice for more than a shot or two. These are basically the backup sticks (pros always have 2, 3, 4, and more backup sticks) that were prepared to go to war but never really got the chance since they were replaced by a different model.
So those "as good as new" sticks are like new hockey sticks but way cheaper. They are the best way for you to get the hockey stick you want at clearance prices (all year long). But don't wait too long since they're really popular and sell out quickly!
Used Sticks
These are mostly game-used sticks. Every stick is deeply inspected by our team to make sure it's still in good condition and assuring that the durability of the stick is not compromised in any way, or we simply won't put them for sale.
Each used stick will be given a grade out of 10 to rate their condition based on the inspection done. Used sticks are the cheapest; if you are looking for high-end hockey sticks at ridiculously low prices, used sticks are for you. And as mentioned above, even if it is used, we are making sure that the durability of the sticks is not compromised, so you can be sure that it will last long enough even at its low price.
Used sticks are also a great way for collectors to get their hands on their favorite player's game-used sticks!
