The Ice Hockey Stick is a sports stick that works as an improvised two-handed blunt weapon. It trains the Long Blunt skill. It has long reach and can hit up to three zombies in one swing. Its damage is low and it wears out quickly.
The stick is easy to find in school gym storage. It can be wrapped in Barbed Wire for a far sturdier weapon. It can also be carved into a Long Stick or a Wooden Spear.
Combat
The Ice Hockey Stick swings a little slower than base speed and reaches about 1.6 tiles. That reach keeps zombies at a safe distance. Each hit deals between 0.3 and 0.7 damage, so an ordinary zombie takes several blows. One swing can hit up to three zombies when multi-hit is on. The crit chance starts at 30 percent, and a crit doubles the damage.
Both hands stay on the stick while it is equipped. The wide, long swing suits pushing back a small group at a fence or a doorway. The Long Blunt skill raises damage, crit chance and swing speed as it levels. A Baseball Bat hits harder. The hockey stick is a fair early weapon and a good base for the barbed wire upgrade.
Uses
The Ice Hockey Stick can be wrapped in Barbed Wire with pliers and Maintenance 1. That makes the Ice Hockey Stick with Barbed Wire. A sharp knife can carve it into a Wooden Spear or a Long Stick. The stick also burns as fire fuel.

Repair
The Ice Hockey Stick has 7 condition. Each hit has a 1 in 5 chance of taking a point off, so it wears down quickly. The Long Blunt and Maintenance skills both lower that chance. Duct Tape, Adhesive Tape and Glue repair it with no skill. Wood Glue needs Carpentry 2. Zip Ties need Maintenance 1, Epoxy needs Maintenance 3, and Epoxy with Rags needs Maintenance 4. Every repair restores less condition than the one before it.
Locations
The Ice Hockey Stick is easy to find at schools. School gym storage holds one on its shelves at a high rate. Closets and pawnshops hold one at a fair rate. Survivor safehouses and survivor caches hold one now and then. Storage units and attics hold one only rarely.

Notes
- Wrapping it in Barbed Wire keeps the same damage but raises condition to 10 and slows wear.
- Carry tape, since one hit in five wears it down.
- School gyms are the most reliable place to look.
