His stick may say CCM but for all we know it could be a bauer made stick with their paint on it, this is NOT uncommon at all, players never use what they are wearing!!! lol i work in hockey retail im quite aware of this information Just for those that dont know about this, hockey players do not use factory standard equiptment, lets just say you have an RBK 10k Crosby stick, with his aparent curve..its not what he uses most likely not even close, the only thing that is on those sticks is the brand name, generally the stick will be made by another company and painted with that logo and can be done through the club, ovechkin i believe wouldnt use an illegal stick however if he asked for a certain curve im almost certain the club could get it done.

Seriously. He's a great player with a bullet shot. Plain and simple. No one’s stick needs to be measured. Seriously. He’s a great player with a bullet shot. Plain and simple.

With the new composite sticks you cant heat those composite blades up and curve them more. Each blade is made in a mold by the stick company and the only molds they would have are legal curves unless the companies themselves are corrupt and would supply the players with curves that are illegal. If that is the case then shouldn't the companies be held responsible if it is there name on the stick because there aiding and abetting the cheating players.
