Do we know how long is the contact time of the hockey ball and bat while taking a hockey shot? Also the ball has completely different rebound caharacteristics to a cricket ball.
Two very good questions.
Balls are plastic and harder than a cricket ball but the contact time I would guess is similar as you don't typically hit a hockey ball that is moving at 60 mph,+
Other than that I don't know the answer!

The difference with hockey is the need for the stick to perform so many tasks, you aren't creating a stick with all out hitting power due to the different strokes you can play (passing, arial passes, drags/flicks aswell as controlling the ball and minimising vibrations etc). The characteristics are very variable as is the "contact time" with each stroke.

Lol! I stand corrected - I mean hockey 'stick'.

Hockey bat is fine with me, also known as a wand.

People call cricket bats sticks all the time.

Again, here is another video that many pros want flexible handles. I talked to a baseball sports research institute regarding bat handle stiffness etc and they agreed that it is irrelevant as there isn’t enough time for vibrations to travel entire length and back for the stiffness or the lack of it to affect the bat performance. Hence, again is more flex gives one a better feeling (if timing it well), it should be more preferred.

Interesting.

On this post I have seen comparison made between Tennis racquets, whip like things and many other thing.

I think It is just to do with the feel than the performance. Tennis racquets use lose string for power because it gives bit extra time for the ball regain its shape than tight strings.
Compare to whip or similar thing,they create sinusoidal which cricket bat cannot.
