Abstract
A hockey blade for a hockey stick for striking a game projectile during hockey play. The preferred hockey blade has horizontal arcuate channels disposed on each of a first striking face and a second striking face of a projectile striking member whereby the striking faces of the hockey blade demonstrate improved control over a spherical game projectile. A plurality of vertical score lines may be disposed on one or both striking faces of the hockey blade. First and second light sources, each emitting a different light signal, may be operably associated with the first and second sides respectively of the hockey blade whereby the first and second sides can be readily distinguished. A plurality of ridges comprising rotatably coupled spherical balls may be disposed on a bottom face of the projectile striking member. The spherical balls may be removably coupled to the projectile striking member by a removable sleeve.
