Can you bring a hockey stick as a carry-on?
Re: Carry on hockey stick? Doesn't matter if it would fit or not, TSA won't allow a hockey stick to be carried on.
For an extra layer of protection, you can wrap the bubble-wrapped stick in a sheet of thick plastic (heavy duty trash bags will work) to create a moisture barrier against the elements. Another strategy for shipping hockey sticks includes fashioning a corrugated box that the stick will fit inside.
You can bring most sports equipment with you on your trip, though keep in mind that standard checked baggage fees apply based on cabin, travel region and total number of checked bags. Overweight baggage fees apply to bags that exceed 50 lbs and bags cannot exceed 115 linear in/292 cm (length + width + height).
Firearms, ammunition, and fireworks are prohibited, as are all knives and safety razors (including pocket knives and Swiss Army knives). Straight razors and replacement blades for straight razors are also not allowed. Most tools also cannot be packed in carry-on luggage, as they have the potential to cause harm.

Top 10 Awesome Tips For Flying With Hockey Equipment - YouTube
Sports equipment bags and cases can't contain clothing or other personal items. They must be used only to carry sports equipment. All equipment must be securely packed in a rigid and/or hard shell container specifically designed for shipping. If otherwise packaged, equipment may be refused for carriage.
The reasons are obvious: Tape makes a stick easier to hold. Tape “softens” the blade, making it easier to corral a pass, lets the puck linger in your cagey control, or allows you to snap a precise wrister through the five-hole. Tape protects the blade, helping it survive the brunt of your cannonading slap shots.
Baggage fees for sports equipment range from $30 to $150 USD depending on size and weight limits. You'll have to do some digging on your own based on your flight itinerary and bag size and weight dimensions.
Does a backpack count as a personal item?

A centre stick (or center stick in the United States), or simply control stick is an aircraft co*ckpit arrangement where the control column (or joystick) is located in the center of the co*ckpit between the pilots or between the pilot's legs.
The control stick is usually located on the floor of the co*ckpit; the pilot straddles it in his or her seat. Sometimes called the “joystick,” it controls the airplane's attitude and altitude in the same way as the yoke.
Sticks are often built in modern military fighter jets like the F-16 Fighting Falcon, Mitsubishi F-2 and Dassault Rafale; light aircrafts such as the Piper Cubs, DA20, DA40, and DA42 from the Diamond Aircraft line; and finally, civil aircrafts like the Airbus, which has the largest passenger jet in service, the Airbus ...

So using black tape really isn't much better than white. White tape allows you to see the puck on your stick better plus it looks cooler all marked up. Pro tip: Most goalies say they have a harder time focusing on the puck when the stick is white because they cant see when the shot is released.

The Game Of Polo Is Right Handed
While many left-handed innovations have helped this group in society over the years, there are some activities which simply must be performed with the right hand, no matter one's hand of dominance.
Some left-right stats: Roughly 60 to 70 percent of NHL players are left-handed shooters, depending on the season. Six of the NHL's top 10 current scorers are lefty shots, but three of the top five goals leaders shoot right-handed.
Why do most NHL players shoot left?
Kind of like a right-handed baseball player learning to hit from the left side of the plate. And a lot of hockey players shoot left-handed. Until the curved blade was introduced in the 1960s, hockey sticks were ambidextrous. But with the curved blade, manufacturers had to begin making left- and right-handed sticks.
The top hand creates the most important part of the lever, the farthest point. (For the science nerds out there… Work is the force times the distance, W = Fd). This is why taller players have historically dominated the hardest shot competition in professional hockey.
For the most part, weapon controls are on the left-hand side of the gun and operated by the shooter's thumb. When a left-handed shooter uses a right-handed firearm, their thumb falls on the right-hand side of the gun, where the controls aren't.
The top hand on a hockey stick provides all of the control and touch, so it should be your dominant hand. If you hold the hockey stick with your right hand on top of the stick and your left hand down the stick, you are a left-handed shooter.
