  • Approved Bats List
    2015/2016 Licensed Bats 2016 Licensed 2 1/4" Bat List The following is a list of bats with a 2 1/4 inch maximum diameter that are currently licensed for use in the baseball divisions of Little League (Little League [Majors] Division and below). Bats with metal or wood barrels may also be used in the Junior League and Intermediate 50/70 Baseball Divisons of play. This list includes bats currently licensed with Little League as of February 22, 2016 This list includes all licensed models organized by manufacturer, including those composite barrel bats that have received a waiver from the composite-barreled bat moratorium. Little League placed a moratorium on all composite-barreled baseball bats for these divisions, which took effect on Dec. 30, 2010. A list of those composite-barreled bats that have received a waiver of that moratorium is available at http://www.littleleague.org/learn/equipment/licensedcompositebats.htm, which includes photos of each bat. Little League reserves the right to add to this list or make other changes as new information arises. This list was last updated on February 2, 2016. Important: This is only a list of licensed bats, not a list of all possible bats that could be used. Provided the bat meets the specifications of Rule 1.10 for the division of play, and provided the bat is not subject to the moratorium, it may be used. Any bat, even those appearing on this list, must meet all the specifications of Rule 1.10 for the particular division of play, including specifications regarding length, weight, diameter, markings, etc.

  • Steel Hockey Skates: Skating Towards Victory
    March 17, 2021 Steel Hockey Skates: Skating Towards Victory Modern steel is the key to success for futuristic construction projects and the reliability of large infrastructure facilities, as well as being a key material for innovative solutions in the automotive industry. Alongside these well-known applications for state-of-the-art steel technologies, the fact that the best hockey teams owe their success to the unique properties of the steel skate blades of famous hockey players has gone unnoticed. For the past 150 years, sports equipment manufacturers have moved from wood, animal bones, and leather straps to steel and innovative composite materials for ice hockey. The History of Ice Skates The precursor to modern hockey skates, where steel, plastic and composite materials have been combined in a single engineering idea, left a trace on the ice for several millennia. It is believed that the first ice skates were developed by hunters in Finland. Dating back to 3,000 BC, hunters used the bones of cloven-hoofed animals and drilled holes in them through which they threaded strips of animal hides to tie the blades to their feet. However, it did not occur to the ancient Finns to sharpen the bone blades and they could not push off the surface of the ice with their feet. Rather, hunters propelled themselves by pushing with a long pole held between their legs. By doing so, they were able to cover long distances while chasing their prey. Surprisingly, bone skates continued to be used into the 20th century in some places in Europe, because their design was so simple and the materials so easy to find.
