Most places will have a heat gun and if you ask nicely, will put the stick and blade together for you. With the new composite sticks, you shouldn't, but I still did, use the kitchen range. Just don't put the stick too close to the element, and turn it constantly so the glue has a chance to melt, assuming it is a glue type blade. There use to be the T system, or whatever Easton called it, where they have some rubber catchers that wedge up into the shaft when you insert the blade.
Don't worry about the curve too much. When you get on the ice, you'll be too worried about not falling or catching up to the play.
