I just picked up a Vic Velocity Pro 55 Composite 1 peice stick. I am now hearing that these dont do well when its cold out ( - 10 or so ) I hear they shatter ? This is my first time with a composite 1 peice stick so I dont have a clue. Can anyone confirm or share some exp. I will bring it back if thats the case as its a $120 stick.

Use a wooden hockey stick for outdoors. Keep the composite for arena ice.

ya i agree
but it is cold in the arena too
so if you dont have another stick go ahead and use it

if you're worried about breaking the stick outdoors when its to cold then i assume you've got enough power behind you shot to do so, if thats the case save the nice stick for the arena, otherwise why spend more than $20 for an outdoor stick

I had a pretty decent stick last year, not quite as nice as yours but still a one piece.
anyways, last year the first time i played outside it was about -20, get all pumped up to play outside again after so many months, first shot i take, BAM snaps and i fall on my ass.
after that i just use $20-30 wood sticks outdoors if its below -10ish.
