Most used NHL sticks of all time
Every stick brand and model on record for 1,540 NHL players since 1917, ranked by how many players have a sourced record of it. CCM leads with 676 players. Today's top models skew the all-time model list, because current pro-stock listings are far more complete than old auction records.

Most used today
Bauer Vapor FlyLite (125), CCM JetSpeed FT8 Pro (94), CCM Tacks XF Ghost (89), Bauer Nexus Tracer (57), Warrior Covert QR6 Pro (37), Warrior Alpha LX3 Pro (36), CCM Ribcor Trigger 10 Pro (32), Bauer Pulse (23), Bauer Pulse 2 (19), Bauer Supreme Fuse (16). Brand share for every position is on what the NHL uses today.
Counts are players, not items, and a player on record with two brands counts for both, so shares can add past 100%. Auction dates are often approximate ("late 1990s"), so the first and last seasons are as the source dated them. Sher-Wood and Sherwood are counted as one brand. Every record links to its source on the player page.
