If you grew up playing hockey in the early to mid 2000s, there is an extremely high chance you or someone you knew was rocking an Easton twig. Between the introduction of the Easton Aluminum stick before the 1990 season (first used in the league by none other than Wayne Gretzky) and the 2000 season, it is estimated that 40% of the NHL was using Easton sticks. Easton carved out a space for themselves as one of the top brands in hockey, and this was mainly due to the fact that their sticks at this time were the lightest on the market and offered players an incredibly quick release due to the elliptical taper near the bottom of the stick, a technology that still exists in the stick market with Bauer, who purchased Easton Hockey in 2016. Bauer still occasionally runs limited edition releases of the most popular Easton sticks as recently as August 2024, when they released the iconic Easton Stealth S17 for the first time since 2008.
Easton is undoubtably one of the most influential and important hockey brands of all time, as they were an extremely vital component of the creation and implementation of composite sticks. The technology they introduced to the hockey world was extremely important, and continues to be relevant as current companies continue to innovate their sticks.
Easton pro stock sticks are incredibly hard to come by, as they haven’t been used in the NHL since 2019, and most of those were sticks that haven’t actually been manufactured since 2015. However, here at HockeyStickMan, we have a number of Easton pro stock sticks available for the best prices on the market. Get them now because there is a high chance that once they’re gone, they’re gone.
