Hi. I am a bantam hockey player and ive been wondering this for years. My answer came when i was practicing one day. i noticed that a flat stick might not give you any power not lift. the lift comes from the angle that occurs from the curve of the stick and the power comes from the flex and kick of that blade. more curve different kick point. and dont get confused because there are many kickpoints on the stick.
its easier to make a wrist shot and make a goal in top corner :D. also if it doesnt have alot of curve, it would be hard to get the puck to lift a lot. try it for yourself with a More curved stick and not so much curved one, theres a difference.

What came first hockey or soccer?
That depends on whether you are referring to Ice Hockey or Field Hockey. Soccer originated with the ancient game of Harpastum, played by the Roman Legions, while Ice Hockey was invented in Canada in the 19th Century. Field Hockey, on the other hand is known to have been played in Ancient Greece at the Olympic Games. There is a monument in the museum at Olympia which depicts two players with typical curved field hockey sticks in a face-off position and a ball between them.
