摘要：

<p>PCT No. PCT/CA96/00649 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 20, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 20, 1998 PCT Filed Sep. 26, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/11755 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 3, 1997The invention relates to an improved joint assembly comprising a deforming element that is compressed to secure a first member into the recess of a second member. Preferably the deforming element comprises angular projections and is made from a relatively soft material which allows for its deformation. The joint of the invention has the advantage of not requiring any heat or tool and is particularly useful for attaching a hockey stick blade to a hockey stick handle without the need of adhesives or other types of mechanical connectors. The invention also relates to a hockey stick blade and to a hockey stick incorporating the deforming element of the present invention.</p>
