The future of the world’s largest hockey stick (66 meters) is questioned. …Last year, the Duncan-based stick made headlines after a woodpecker decided to make the Douglas fir home. The little bird unveiled a big problem. Consultants determined the stick was in a state of decay and recommended that the Cowichan Valley Regional District prepare for significant renovations or replacement by 2025. The estimated cost to build a new stick is between $1.5 to $2 million, and the stories didn’t stop there. Lockport, Illinois, announced plans to build an even larger hockey stick a few months back. A 10-question survey, outlined by the Cowichan Community Centre, asks about replacing the stick, how it should be funded and whether it should be extended.
