That guy got a lot of things right but he must have been exaggerating about the the last time he saw a one piece stick. I am younger than 50 and when I played hockey growing up the only two piece sticks had plastic blades for street hockey. I don't know how long the current two piece ones have been around but my guess would be twenty yeas or less.

It may be worthy of note that the current two pice sticks are probably a little greener. Now when you break your blade, you don't have to trash the whole stick. I guess that also must mean that kids don't get broken sticks for souvenirs as much anymore.
