They’ve scored untold millions of goals on rinks, ponds and streets across the country, but in a few weeks’ time workers will lovingly fashion the last of Sher-Wood’s signature Quebec-made wooden hockey sticks.
It’s yet another sign of changing times: After 58 years, Sherwood-Drolet will, starting in January, farm out the mass production of wooden sticks and concentrate on the increasingly popular – and vastly profitable – business of making composite sticks fashioned from graphite, Kevlar and other synthetics.
