It was a combination of Stan Mikita and Bobby Hull. One game Mikita got his stick stuck in the bench door and pulled it out and it was curved. Then in frustration he took a slap shot and the puck sailed off the ice about 2 feet. Then at a later practice Hull saw his shot and Mikita and Hull from then on curved their sticks on purpose to get a higher shot.
