PowerMetal, in collaboration with COLT Hockey, has successfully re-designed and engineered a hockey stick utilizing cutting-edge, nano-technology. The hockey stick performs like an elite composite with the added strength and durability of steel.

As part of a direct-to -consumer grass roots development and sales initiative, completion of the final product and the establishment of a manufacturing base in Canada is being supported by the Kickstarter "crowdsourcing" platform.

The COLT hockey Kickstarter campaign was launched only 2 weeks ago and has already achieved a significant fraction of its original funding goal.

The COLT hockey stick is a multi-layer structure which combines high performance carbon fibre with PowerMetal's patented high strength, light weight nanometal. The result is a light weight, high performance hockey stick that possesses superior impact resistance and durability.

Feedback from test groups has shown that the COLT also provides exceptional 'power' and superior stick handling arising from enhanced responsiveness (i.e., feel and control).

In particular, players mentioned that their carbon fibre sticks tend to "weaken" and become less responsive after a few games. PowerMetal's technology helps maintain the required stiffness and preferred flex of the stick for an extended period of time.

Until October 9th, introductory sticks are being provided as part of the available rewards to supporters of the COLT Kickstarter initiative.
