S78 PT #4: Sponsored Up and Geared Up Due: Sunday, September 8th @ 11:59 PM PST

Atticus Hale does have pretty specific requirements when it comes to gear. He prefers the Warrior brand for all his gear. Everyone know that a hockey player’s stick is very unique to the player from the length of the stick, the curve of the blade, how much tape (if any) should be applied to the blade, and how much tape should be applied to the top of the stick. Personally, Hale likes a longer stick because it increases his reach and allows him to get his stick on the puck before most other players. He doesn’t like too much of a curve but just enough to make his wrist shot lethal. He will tape up the blade of his stick, but not too much because it can affect the feel of the puck on the stick. When it comes to the top of the stick, he prefers a tape with minimal texture. He experimented with sticky tape a bit but found that it can make it hard to handle the stick in certain scenarios and can really ruin your gloves.

The rest of his gear is pretty standard. Skates, gloves, and various padding. One interesting thing about Hale’s gear is that he has used the same shoulder pads for his entire SHL career. It is the one superstition that he has carried since his rookie year.
