don'thavetoworryaboutpurchasing relatively easy to deal with regard-

ing their sticks, but there have been a
particular few who have been "high-
maintenance" such as Jack Johnson
and Chad Langlais, to name a few.
"My all-time stick nightmare guy,
Billy Muckalt," Hume said of the
1998 graduate. "He played in an era
where guys were using wood blades,
and graphite or aluminum shafts.
If he didn't score in the first period,
he'd have one of the student guys put
the blade from stick one into stick
three, take the blade from stick three
and put it into two. Then, put blade
two into shaft one.
"He was a little high-mainte-
nance. There might be some psycho-
logical issues going on there, but we
don'tget into that."
The low-maintenance guys? Take
the "old school" Berenson.
Ever since he dug into trash
cans back in Regina, Berenson has
kept the wood stick in his reper-
toire, sometimes flip-flopping back
and forth between the original
and the modern one-piece com-
posite sticks that most Division I

players use today.
Berenson explained that the com-
posite model is "much lighter" than
your normal wooden stick, with
players having the ability to shoot
better with the newly designed
equipment. But with the enhanced
technology comes a moderate price,
as some players can't stickhandle as
well.
"The sticks have a resiliency or a
stiffness to them that when the puck
hits them, the puck booms off them,"
Berenson said. "It might help your
shot, but it doesn't necessarily help
your passing, receiving, your play-
making and so on."
Sporting a wooden Reebok stick
in practice on Wednesday, Beren-
son said he isn't a fan of the more
expensive and less durable sticks.
He referenced two particular Chi-
cago Blackhawks - Stan Mikita and
Bobby Hull of the mid-1960s - who
excelled using the wooden stick,
though theirs were curved com-
pared to Berenson's straighter edge.
He claimed that "they could shoot

the puck as well as anyone can shoot
now." i
And until Berenson finds a better,
more suitable alternative to the old-
fashioned wooden sticks, he won't
ask Hume for any new stick samples

from Bauer or Easton representa-
tives anytime soon.
"He's holding out," Hume joked.
"He might be the only guy in the
free world that's using a wood stick
right now."
