I think we are talking about an extremely extremely low percentage still using wooden sticks (if there are any).

Well, maybe not today, but between 1993 and 2012, hundreds of NHL players used wooden sticks over thousands of games.

Quote:
Don't forget that if the team that questioned the stick and was wrong, they were assessed a 2 minuted delay of game penalty. The only time teams challenged were when they were down a goal or two late in the game and wanted a late PP trying to get back in the game.

There was an article from last week on McSorley that stated there hasn't been an illegal stick penalty called in the NHL since 1993. I can't remember it being called anytime before or after to be honest.
Like I said, shenaningans were afoot in that series. The Kings of 1993 have held ever since that the Canadiens were allowed access by an enterprising security guard into the Kings locker room to investigate stick curvatures. Ergo, Demers called for the stick measurement knowing full well that there was an illegal stick (or probably seven) on the other team.

Though that article clearly was incorrect, as there appear to have been a couple more recent illegal stick penalties:

hey, at least this way montreal gets mentioned in a post-season discussion. ![]() can't believe they went back to therrien-but i never understand why a team goes back to a coach a second time if they let him go once already. but hey, at least he can speak french. because when one has been in a drought this long, that's what really matters.
