ABSTRACT:
A hockey stick is provided with an elongate handle portion and a blade portion coupled to the handle portion. The blade portion holds an impact surface designed to strike a ball or puck when the stick is swung at the ball or puck. The impact surface, blade portion and handle all cooperate to produce a drum-like tone when the ball or is struck. The blade portion includes front and back sections that mate and hold the impact surface therebetween. The front section is provided with a tongue that mates with a groove on the back section and the impact surface has a channel that is held in between the tongue and groove. When the front and back sections are assembled together, the impact surface is tensioned by the tongue and groove to make the impact surface an audibly vibratory member. The assembled front and back sections and the handle portion are hollow within to augment the sound produced by the impact surface. The front and back sections include beveled edges that guide the ball or puck toward the impact surface when the sections strike the ball or puck.
