Ethan EggertGUEST
And I had this hockey stick called the, it was the, oh, there's tons of different versions of it now.

Ethan EggertGUEST
And it's got, in the blade of the stick, it's got this big hole that looks pretty much the same as the hole in the frame.

Ethan EggertGUEST
And what it did is it made the blade have this, like, slingshot motion, so it let the blade flex, so it'd get this extra little kick to the puck when you're taking a snapshot.

Ethan EggertGUEST
And I always remembered that being so cool when it came out and, like, getting that stick and being like, "Oh, this actually does do something.

Ethan EggertGUEST
