I'd be inclined to say if it's actually made of something that will take an edge and sharpened to the point is has one, it probably *cannot* be successfully disguised as a hockey stick, even from a distance.

I am guessing this would just be a short staff (like a Jo from Low Tech), but cheap quality for being light-weight and with a skill penalty for being improvised (and not as well balanced).
Are these symmetrically balanced enough for that? My first guess for something with one end weighted over the other would be that it's a club (using Two Handed Axe/Mace skill), not Staff.
