Customer Review
The Brampton Radicals Inline Hockey Association would like to acknowledge the performance of the WHAT A STICK product.

We have used WHAT A STICK for the past three years and with a growing house league organization of forty teams and ten teams at the representative level, we supply each team with a set of goalie equipment, which includes a stick that has had the blade coated with the WHAT A STICK product.

We applied WHAT A STICK to approximately fifty goalie sticks in which forty percent were new and the rest were used. By applying the coating we reduced our replacement cost this year by twenty to twenty-five percent. This has been a great savings for our league as the cost of sticks increases yearly. We believe this product will definitely increase the lifespan of the stick and not to mention the appearance and the uniformity due to the variety of colors available. Some of the players at the representative level also used WHAT A STICK and the feedback was positive especially with reference to puck control, grip, shooting and again the lifespan of the stick. They all loved it!

The Brampton Radicals highly recommends WHAT A STICK and looks forward to a continued partnership.

Sincerely,

Mike Vechiola
The Brampton Radicals
