What trends are in the hockey equipment industry?

Answer 1

While "trends" is fairly non-specific, in recent years the equipment end of the industry can be summed up in 1) lighter skates 2) innovative composite sticks 3) Conforming goalie equipment to meet the strict new NHL/NCAA standards.

Outside of those, there has also been a string of new helmets (Cascade most recently) designed to prevent head trauma and innovative ideas for skate blades (Thermablade).

Hope this helps

One trend is that the current sticks are less than 200 cm long. Other trends are that they are made of aluminum and fiberglass and that old sticks are recycled.
