The middle stick portion is rotatably coupled to the elongate coupling member so that rotation of the upper stick portion causes the lower stick portion and the blade member to rotate without rotating the middle stick portion gripped by the directional hand. The hockey stick may include at least one locking mechanism coupled to the middle stick portion and at least one of the upper and lower stick portions. Each locking mechanism is movable between an unlocked position wherein the middle stick portion is rotatable relative to the upper stick portion and the lower stick portion, and a locked position wherein the upper stick portion, the lower stick portion and the middle stick portion are secured together so that rotation of the middle stick portion with respect to the upper and lower stick portions is inhibited.</p> |
