Question Hockey sticks

This february a friend and I are going to helsinki to do some ice skating and to play some hockey outdoors.

The problem is it is very hard and expensive to take our sricks on the plane.

Does anyone know a place where we can get sticks?

Not necessarily buy them, but borrow them or just get some old ones from somewhere.

Anyone have some left sticks we can use in our one week in finland?

Tou can buy them in pretty much every bigger superstore or sporting store. If you want cheap used ones, you can try Helsingin Sportti-Divari.

Sportti-Divari and Pääkaupunkiseudun Kierrätyskeskus sell second hand sportswear. I'm pretty sure that Kierrätyskeskus has a good stock of hockey sticks and they sell them maybe for 3-10 euros. They also have an online site where they sell more quality items but in your case it might be easiest and cheapest to visit one of their multiple stores.

+1 Sporttiidivari (https://www.helsinginsportti-divari.fi). Also delivers a very authentic Helsinki experience. They often sell good quality stuff but prepare to haggle.
