Abstract: A hockey stick handle being substantially rectangular in transverse cross section and has front and rear faces generally parallel to said faces of the blade, and narrower top and bottom faces being generally perpendicular to the faces of the blade, with the top face being on the same side of the handle as the blade. The rear face of the handle is convex, a central point on the rear face being at least 0.010" from the plane of outer edges of the rear face. A variant includes a concave front face. The hockey stick handle also has a significantly rounded corner between its top and rear faces providing superior ergonomic fit and enhanced control for the user.
