A method of fabricating a stitched foam core for a hockey blade comprises: forming a foam core, the core comprising a first core face (32), a second core face (34), a top core edge (36) and a bottom core edge (38); wrapping the foam core with a first layer of fiber tape (40), the first layer of fiber tape extending continuously around the first core face (32), top core edge, second core face and bottom core edge of the foam core, wherein the wrapped core (60) has a first wrapped face (52), a second wrapped face (54), a top wrapped edge (56) and a bottom wrapped edge (58); and stitching the wrapped foam core with a thread (70), the thread extending between and along the first wrapped face (52) and the second wrapped face (54). The stitched wrapped core is then wrapped with a second layer of fiber tape to form a wrapped preform, wherein the second layer is thicker than the first layer. A construct for a hockey blade is also disclosed. |
