A hockey stick is a type of lever, which is a simple machine. It allows the user to apply a force at one end to launch or move the puck at the other end.
A hockey stick is a 3rd order lever. Elbow, Shoulder, hip, knee. All sport equipment that gives a mechanical advantage from bats & bows through to sports vehicle suspension are either levers in their own right or use levers.
No, a hockey stick is not considered a machine as it does not involve complex mechanical components that allow it to perform work. It is a simple tool or implement used to play the sport of hockey.
The hockey stick belongs to the third-class lever class. It has the effort (force) applied in the middle, between the fulcrum (pivot point) and the load (puck). This configuration allows for speed and control when handling the puck.
It depends on which kind your talking about ;)

Technically speaking, there is no "best" hockey stick, though there are many good ones. Personally, I would choose Reebok 10k. It also depends on what position you are, and what kind of player you are. Are you a grinder? Sniper? Dangler? These all help determine the attributes of yourself, and what kind of stick you should buy.
