Question

I found a leftie senior one90 at my local arena and it was broken in half.

is there any way i can fix it myself without having to bring it to stick fix or srs?

Answer 1

Depends on what type of punishment that you put your stick through.  Do you like to take slapshots and have a hard shot or do you need it for just playing games or with a tennis ball.  Here is something that I do.  When a composite snaps in half it frays a little or breaks and twists and has cracks that extend from the braking point.  If the cracks are too long, say 6 inches or more then forget about it.  If there are none or they are very short then you could but it takes some materials like metal braces.  Long thin steel or something stronger that is a not as wide as the shaft and will extend BEYOND the cracks by at least 2 inches.  4 pieces for each side of the shaft around the break.  The metal will have to have holes in it so you can attach it with a riveter to the opposite brace.  You will also have to place a piece of wood in the center or inside of the the shaft with holes that line up with the ones in the metal braces.  This "piece" of wood could be made out of a wooden hockey stick that you can shave down with a pocket knife to fit very snuggly inside of the shaft and watch out for slivers!  The wood would also have to be as long as the braces.   Also you could use a very strong glue to attach the wood inside the shaft first and make sure that you have a very smooth connection at the spot where the stick broke (use a fine metal file and sand paper to smooth out if needed).  Doing it this way, you should have a good drill and titanium coated drill bits to make the holes in the metal braces, broken shaft, and wooden center all line up perfectly.  If it all works out it should not have no wobble at all or else the wood is not long enough and does not fit inside snug enough.  When you put the rivets in also use glue on them so when they get punched in the the glue will expand and harden.  When you let everything sit and dry for at least 2 days when successfully finished putting it all together you will notice it will probably be stiffer than it was when you get it new.  If you try it with other types of metal bracing like aluminum or even try other cut up composite sticks that you can't repair.  Wrap it all up in tape when done to conceal it to prevent any accidents in case it gets stepped on by someone big and snaps it again.  I also fix my blades the same way except I just use glue and they don't last as long but I can keep fixing over and over again.  It does make the stick a bit heavier when I add all this new stuff to it but it now has lasted me for years of hard punishment on the ice. Hope this will inspire a new project for you.

There's not really a way to 'fix it yourself'. Your only option is to go somewhere to get it fixed.
