Ice Hockey Sticks

Shoot, Pass and Carry With an Ice Hockey Stick

For controlling the puck, ice hockey sticks are indispensable. Scoring, dribbling, and passing become arduous tasks without them, even for the finest NHL players. While traditional ice hockey sticks were exclusively wooden, many of today's best sticks utilise modern materials. Carbon fibre and composite hockey sticks are preferred for their lightweight nature and resilience.

Which Ice Hockey Stick Should I Purchase?

When selecting a hockey stick, consider the length and flex of the stick. Your dimensions, strength, and skill level, along with personal preferences, all influence your decision. To learn more about these considerations, visit Buying Hockey Sticks.

Junior hockey sticks are typically more compact and more flexible, catering to younger and smaller players. The maximum length for junior sticks is approximately 140 cm, with a variety of shorter sizes available.

What Is the Reason Behind the Curvature of Hockey Sticks?

Hockey blades were originally straight, but nearly every modern blade is now curved. This design enhances stick handling with the puck. The curve creates a pocket, securing the puck more effectively and facilitating manoeuvring around opponents. It also enables players to impart additional spin on the puck, which enhances stability in flight, ensuring it lands flat and enables more precise passing.
