Before I get going, this could have easily been rename as “A New Poll (or three) ā About How You Hold a Hockey Stick“. Up front, you wouldnāt believe how many people arrive here at CoachChic.com having searched Google and elsewhere for help on how to hold a hockey stick! So, before I ultimately provide a serious answer to this question, I thought Iād initially host a few polls on how experienced hockey players HOLD and CONTROL their sticks.
