The invention relates to a hockey stick blade having an abrasion resistant coating, to a hockey stick comprising such a blade and to a process for coating a hockey stick blade. The coating is made from polyurethane or a mixture of polyurethane and polyurea and has a durometer hardness of at least about 70A. In a preferred embodiment, the coating may be made by mixing a urethane prepolymer having isocyanate terminal groups with an amine component. The coating of the present invention is particularly useful on harsh surfaces such as roller hockey surfaces and allows a player to use a stick that possesses better feel while reducing friction and abrasion. |
