The Mi’kmaw Literally Shaped Modern Hockey. Before the NHL, or even factory-made sports equipment, the Mi'kmaq were the undisputed kings of hockey sticks. The Gold Standard: In the 1800s and early 1900s, if you were a serious hockey player in Canada or the US, you had to use a "Mic-Mac" hockey stick. They were hand-carved out of a single piece of wood using the root and trunk of hornbeam or yellow birch trees, making them incredibly durable and lightweight. Mi'kmaw craftsmen supplied virtually all of Canada's hockey sticks until mass production took over in the 1930s. In 2006, a single hand-carved Mi'kmaw hockey stick from the 1850s sold at an auction for a staggering $2.2 million!
