Almost all hockey sticks in use today are a carbon fiber/wood composite
Hockey sticks are traditionally made from wood, but they are also constructed from different materials as well. These would include carbon fiber, kevlar, aluminum and fiberglass.
The vast majority of sticks are made with one (or a combination) of the following materials: wood, aluminum, fiberglass, graphite (carbon fiber), Kevlar and titanium.

Composite Hockey sticks are sticks made from interwoven strands of fiberous materials such as carbon fiber. The insides are hollow making them light weight, but the interwoven construction allows for a flexible stick with as much strength as, if not more strength as a wooden one.
there are 3 kinds composite carbon fiber wood
Wood hockey sticks were initially made using maple until the 1920s but as supplies diminished, yellow birch and ash become more common and by 1930 onward, ash was the preferred hardwood for hockey sticks. In the 1940s hockey stick manufactures began using layers of wood epoxied together and utilizing fiberglass lamination. Today all hockey stick manufactures such as Bauer, CCM, GTS, STX and True produce their high end sticks using composite materials such as carbon fiber. These sticks are much lighter and provide more consistent performance.
Carbon fiber was invented in 1958 by Roger Bacon. It used Rayon fibers which where heated until carbonized to create a highly durable and strong material.
High strength carbon fibers were first created by Roger Bacon in 1958.
1. Composite sticks tend to flex more, creating a whip effect and causing the puck to travel at higher velocities 2.Composite sticks are made of a combination of materials, frequently a fiberglass or carbon fiber shaft with a wood blade. 3. Composite sticks are weaker and break more frequently during play than wood sticks do.
Carbon fiber is a form of carbon.
