Changing hockey sticks curve from Drury to Heatley, what will change?

I have the old stealth with a drury curve and am getting an S17 with a heatley curve soon, what will the differences I will notice on the ice. I play highschool hockey at a high level so this will be important, thanks.Changing hockey sticks curve from Drury to Heatley, what will change?They both have a 1/2%26quot; curve



Drury is a heel curve, Heatley is a mid. So the release point on your shots will be a little further down the blade. Just something to get used to.



Drury has a 5.5 lie, Heatley is 5, which means your new stick will have a little bit more angle between the shaft and blade, meant for players you stickhandle further away from their skates. (not a huge difference 5.5-5)



Drury has a round toe, and the Heatley blade has a rounded top and square bottom. This just means that the Heatley blade will be a little better for digging along the boards. This will not affect any other part of your game, and is just a personal preference thing.Changing hockey sticks curve from Drury to Heatley, what will change?You will experience the following:



You will say %26quot;eh%26quot; after every question

When in the army you will say %26quot;Lefttenant%26quot; instead of %26quot;Lieutenant%26quot;

Your US dollar bills will turn into a %26quot;Loony and a quarter%26quot; and

You will have an urge to root for the Ottawa Senators

And

Your stick will stand at attention during the playing of Oh Canada
