Abstract
A method and apparatus is provided for removing a blade from a hockey stick. The strap includes first and second loops each having an anchored end connected to a respective slide aperture and a constricting end slidably received through the respective slide aperture for constricting the loop when pulled. The constricting end of the first loop is anchored to the second loop and the slide apertures are fixed relative to one another whereby pulling the constricting end of the second loop constricts the second loop thereby pulling on the constricting end of the first loop to simultaneously constrict the first loop. The method includes inserting the blade through the first and second loops respectively, heating the glue between the blade and the shaft and pulling the constricting end of the second loop away from the shaft so as to constrict the loops about the blade and pull the blade from the shaft.
