Athletics Engineered: Hockey sticks, a material issue

So, Professor Daehn, we meet again.

Admittedly, that three-point bend tester at 2:40 isn't exactly the death laser from Goldfinger, but it would probably sting a bit.

Here we get to see one aspect of the overlap between the world of athletics and the materials engineering department at Ohio State University, showing us some of the work that students get to do in the program.

Admittedly, I was looking for a bit more of how hockey sticks are made, either the old-school, wooden ones...



...or the more modern, graphite reinforced kind...

And you're welcome for the 'you'll want to stick around for this one' from that second video.
