Hockey is a game played with a stick curved at one end.
I'd say probably Bauer or Reebok . Skip the Reebok roller bags. The wheels spread sideways after a short while and you end up dragging the bag around.
Hockey games can end in a tie.
Regulations say you must tape the stick blade at least the width of the puck. and you should tape the butt end of the stick to have better grip.
If you are referring to the Irish sport of Hurling which, like hockey, is a field game using a ball and stick, the the stick used is not bent. It is known as a hurley, or in the Irish language a camán. It starts narrow at the top and the broadens towards the end with a large surface at its end. See the image at the link below. The sticks used to play field hockey and ice hockey in Ireland are the same as anywhere else in the world.
yes they have two sets of picks. one set at the butt end of the stick and a set at the heel of the blade. goalies also have picks on the catching glove.

In field hockey, the use of different-handed sticks creates a danger scenario where two players of opposing teams wil end up colliding when both go for the ball, because their bodies are on the same side. This is a major safety problem, and is dealt with by simply removing the possiblity of it ever occurring. In ice hockey, there is no such rule. Sticks are not particularly right- or left-handed, and players may use them on either side - some ambidextrous players might use it on both.
Composite, or 1 piece sticks are actually made of 2 pieces. The shaft is hollow, and the blade is inserted into the shaft, then a coating is applied to the stick, making it look like it is made in one piece. The inside is wood and it is fibreglass reinforced. (meaning it is "coated" with fibreglass) The stick is made of fibre mat and resin in a mould, then allowed to set. It is built up layer by layer until roughly finished, then sanded or cut down to the smooth final shape. It is capped at the end and then painted.
