Warrior Powermaster trainers

[lax4life6]

Are the Warrior Powermasters legal to play with? i was thinking about buying a dpole because i hit my friends DB803 with it and made a dent and i didnt swing full force.

That would be one insanely heavy stick, and it probably won't dent titanium shafts the same way.

Uhh, no.

If you threw a check with it, you would a) get called for USC (intent to injure), b) ejected, and c) arrested for assault and/or battery.

No joke.

The only reason you would use one in a game is to intentionally hurt somebody, it offers no other advantage.

Try doing a search on this, we have discussed this indepth in the past.

sorry. I guess i just used the wrong search words but i found it now. I just wanted to use it to break swerves and stuff like that. i guess it sounds stupid now but it sounded kinda cool at the time

c) arrested for assault and/or battery.

why would you get arrested? it's in a game. in football if someone tackles someone and breaks, say their collarbone, you don't see a cop come and arrest the player. checks are part of the game, just like tackling is part of football. i dont know if that stick is illegal, but i seriously doubt you would be arrested if you threw a check with it.

Getting arrested in a game may be a bit exaggerated, but not unprecedented. There are recent cases in sports where malicious conduct has resulted in arrest. Granted, it has to be extreme, but it happens. Prime example in professional sports was a hockey game last year where a player was hit in the head from behind. In that particular case, I don't recall the outcome but I know local authorities considered pressing charges.

yup. I play hockey and i remember that. I think everyone has to sign a waiver but i doubt i would play with it if there is a chance of me getting in trouble for it.

Doubt the waiver really means anything in court.

If you knowingly use a heavy stick, you are doing so because it leads to more powerful checks. Am I right?

So, once you step on the field with the heavy stick, you are out to hurt someone. That's the only reason why you'd carry the heavy stick, as it does not have any other advantages. You would throw a check with that stick knowing that it would severely hurt, maybe injure, another player. Knowingly using a weapon specifically to hurt or injure somebody is aggrevated assault.

In your example, the football player goes to tackle someone without wanting to cause injury; that's all well and good, because he did not tackle the player with injuring him in mind. It just happened. In this case, the pole uses the heavy stick specifically to injure, which is not only not in the spirit of the game but again can lead to an arrest.

Checks are part of the game because one throws checks to deter players from shooting, passing, driving, etc., not because defensemen want to kill people.

Hockey players have been arrested before for assault with a weapon because they deliberately used their sticks to injure other players, causing severe injury (Marty McSorely, anyone?), by the way.

That would be Todd Bertuzi.

The Canadian courts gave him a year's probation and 80 community service hours. Which is crap, seeing as how he ruined Steve Moore's hockey career (he has not been re-signed), paralyzed him and almost killed him..
