Would You Believe It? NHL Teams Use About 12,000 Sticks Per Year -- MONTREAL . (CP) -- Ever wonder how many hockey sticks are broken by the six National § Hockey League teams each sea- F son? The answer is more than > 11,500, : Want to know which players break the most? They happen to be the league's two top point-getters, left winger Robby Hull and centre Stan Mi- kita of Chicago Black Hawks, with around 300 sticks each a season, Pr A lumber dealer here figures | all that wood would be enough & to build five $15,000 homes. Figured at about $2 a stick ($3 for goalkeepers), the bill would run to about $23,000. Montreal Canadiens are the hardest on sticks as a team, averaging 164 a man. Last yar Habs used and abused 2,952. Dickie Moore, who retired this season, was the champ. He got through 252, Next was Ber- nie (Boom Boom) Geoffrion with 228 followed by Jean Beli- veau with 216, Surprisingly high up was Henri Richard, who doesn't use the slap shot as the Boomer does, and doesn't pack the weight of his two mates, All are forwards, Trainer Nick Garen of Black Hawks says his boys wreck 2,400 sticks a year, Hull, Mi- kita and one of two other Hawks push the cost even higher. While all NHL players have custom- built sticks, these players have theirs specially curved, which adds to the price, In Toronto, where 2,000 sticks went to the discard heap last season, defenceman Tim Hor. ton and Frank Mahovlich tied with 149, Bobby Pulford was next with 130, With lots of prac- tice time, the Maple Leaf goal- jes went through 245. Detroit Red Wings smashed 1,230 sticks, Doug Barkley lead- ing with 124, followed by Bruce MacGregor's 99, Gordie Howe's 98, Parker MacDonald's 93, Alex Delvecchio's 84 and Alex Faulk- ner's 82, Terry Sawchuk used 48 goalie sticks.
