Buying Older Model Composite Sticks

[TheSutterDynasty]

The skate thread reminded me about looking into this.

Is there a store in Calgary that sells older model composite sticks?

Specifically, I don't mean last month's model on sale on the main stick rack; I mean significantly older models that maybe have gone unsold in the store's warehouse from a couple months back.

I would much prefer to buy an older model stick in bulk-ish (5-10) for super cheap if I can find it. I'm specifically thinking older synergies.

I'd prefer this to shopping online. But on that note, is there somewhere online I could do this too?

I'm talking like these bad boys (the synergies):




Ok maybe not that old, but you get the picture.

Most sticks I can think of come out in yearly cycles. The sticks from a few months ago are likely the most current iteration available.

Sportmart might have some...probably not the old Synergy grips, but I know that there were some green ST's kicking around the Camrose store up until a couple months ago at least. But those are quite a few years newer than the old Si-Cores.

Maybe check hockeymonkey or hockeygiant. Or call Easton and see if they have anything kicking around anywhere.

Play it again sports in Harvest Hills in the NW sells used sticks and other sports stuff.

What about buying in bulk? Does anyone buy 5-10 (or more) sticks at a time from some of these places for discounts?

I know you can buy sticks in bulk from Adrenaline for a discount. But I don't know how "old" the sticks would really be. And while it's cheaper per stick, it certainly isn't super cheap.

I know someone mentioned hockeymonkey earlier. But they won't ship all sticks to Canada directly. I know they don't ship Easton, and I think they other two brands are Nike/Bauer and Warrior but that might be wrong. It has been two months or so since I talked to them.

To clarify, I'm not looking specifically for older models, I'm looking for discounts. The cheapest I can think of would be older model sticks in bulk.

You should check hockey experts (deerfoot outlet mall/deerfoot meadows mall) They have a lot of Easton Stealths for $139.99. They are older models that used to go for $299.99 - $339.99.

Yeah a buddy of mine just picked up the previous version of the Stealth for under a hundred bucks in Olds.

If you're simply looking for cheap sticks, you should take a look at buying pro-stock sticks. There's no warranty on them but generally they're a bit cheaper. If you have the funds, call a stick company directly, or go talk to someone in Tuxedo or Hockey Experts and ask them to order in a run of sticks...if you order enough I think you can even get your own curve.

Look into pro-stocks. I haven't seen too many lately, though.
