Easton Synergy Hockey Stick

I'm an old school inline hockey player. Lately I've been looking at the Easton Synergy hockey stick. If you are into hockey at all right now, you'll probably have seen this type of stick in stores or at the various online hockey shops. I mentioned I was old school. I'll explain what I mean by that with a question. What is the obsession with the one piece hockey stick? I don't play hockey as much
