I play Hockey and use a Composite shaft with a wooden blade. I find the shafts are great. you get the same feel day in day out from your stick. the only risk is in breaking a blade. the newer sticks are one piece. The major problem with these sticks comes when playing D. A blocked shot off the shaft can and does quite often put a crack in the shaft. It may not break the next use but it will break.
The NHL players are much bigger and stronger than most recreactional hockey player and thus they tend to torque their sticks while shooting much more than you or I. Thus more breakage than if you went to a rec. game. I am not sure whether this clears anything up for you.
