Parent's Guide: Choosing the Right Stick
A Low Kick stick is usually the best choice for developing players. Here is why.
1. Why Low Kick for Kids?
Young players often lack the upper body strength to "bend" a stiff hockey stick.
A Low Kick stick is designed to flex at the very bottom. This means the child doesn't need to lean their whole body weight into the stick to get it to work. It helps them learn how to lift the puck (saucer passes & roofing it) much faster.
2. The Flex Rule (Rule of Half)
The flex rating should be roughly half your child's body weight.
- Weight 40-60 lbs: 20 - 30 Flex (Youth)
- Weight 60-80 lbs: 35 - 40 Flex (Junior)
- Weight 80-100 lbs: 50 - 55 Flex (Junior)
3. Warning: Cutting the Stick
If you buy a stick that is too long and cut 4 inches off the top, you make the stick much stiffer.
Example: A 40 Flex stick cut down by 3 inches becomes a 50 Flex stick. This might make it too hard for your child to use. Try to buy a stick that is close to the correct height (nose height on skates) right off the rack.
