HEEL BLADE [8 records]

Record 1 2005-05-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Equipment and Facilities (Recreation)
  • Ice Hockey
  • Field Hockey
CONT

Essentially, a “one piece” composite stick is a composite shaft fused together with a composite blade. The joint created above the heel is then sanded down and the entire stick is painted in a flowing one-piece design so that it appears that the [ice hockey] stick is “one piece”, although, in reality, it is a two-piece fused product.

CONT

During 2001, the higher-priced segment of the stick market shifted from wooden sticks to the more technically advanced composite sticks. These sticks, which are made from a combination of various fibres, including glass fibre, carbon and aramid, have quite a few advantages over wooden sticks. A composite stick [for field hockey] is made in a mould. Once the mould has been engineered, every stick produced from that mould will have exactly the same design and will therefore be consistent.

Record 3 2000-12-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Natural Construction Materials
DEF

Structural lumber made of half-inch layers of wood peeled from logs, layers four times thicker than those customary in plywood. The press-lam slices are put into a press dryer, then, while still hot, are coated with glue and stacked atop one another and pressed again.

CONT

The new Press Lam Process is based on lamination and reinforcement. The Press Lam heel construction uses a tapered wedge with blades laminated on both sides. This process provides consistent blade strength from heel to toe... Press lam blades retain 40 % more of their original stiffness after impact versus a comparable slotted blade.

Record 4 1994-05-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Skating
CONT

The easiest method is the T-stop. It is a simple process of touching the non-skating blade lightly on the ice behind the skating blade. The two skates are thus in the shape of the letter T. The same result can be achieved by putting the non-skating blade in front of the other. The movement has to be smooth, not sudden.

CONT

The fundamental T-stop used by beginners for coming to a halt. The inside edge of the non-skating blade is dragged gently on the ice just behind the heel of the skating blade.
