A fibreglass hockey stick is a hockey stick with a layer/s of fibreglass to support the stick and usually layered over wood. A composite stick can have a range of materials e.g. kevlar, carbon fibre, armaid, glassfibre etc. It does not have any wood part. half composite sticks have part synthetic material, part wood.

Overall, fibreglass is just a material used to make a stick composite.

Wood hockey sticks tend to be better as they reduce stick shock on a cold day (where the stick vibrates when hitting the ball), however, composite have a huge amount of power when striking the ball.

Any Field Hockey stick containing "metal or metallic compounds" is explicitly forbidden and nobody makes them at all.

Ice Hockey sticks may contain aluminum (a light yet strong metal). THese are usually not completely metal, but have a metal shaft and wooden blade spliced and glued to it. These are not in common use because of how hard they are, and the inaccuracy of the join between blade and shaft.

Graphite sticks are much lighter and they can flex much more.
