Despite being the most decorated female hockey player of all time, no equipment company ever constructed a stick specifically with her input. The best Wickenheiser ever did was develop her own pattern which constitutes a stick's flex, grip, shape of the shaft, lie of the blade on the ice, and kick pointborrowing ideas from a couple of noted stick aficionados. She eventually rolled some of that knowledge into her own design. Every equipment company I worked with always created the pattern that I wanted, but I never really had a say in any design.
