Which hockey stick you should choose primarily depends on how much you're willing to spend.

Choosing a hockey stick

The right stick for you primarily depends on your level of ambition. For beginners, a basic model might suffice, while elite-level players will need a more advanced stick to maximize their on-ice performance. Modern hockey sticks are typically made of composite materials or carbon fiber, making them both lightweight and durable. The most advanced sticks also feature various new technologies to optimize both puck control and shot power. The cheapest hockey sticks are made of wood and are considerably heavier. The more you commit to ice hockey, the more crucial it becomes to choose a hockey stick with the best possible characteristics. 

At Hockeystore, you'll find both affordable and more advanced sticks from established brands such as Bauer, CCM, Warrior, and True. It's crucial to select a hockey stick that fits the right age category, and most models are available for children, juniors, intermediates, and seniors. 

Below, Hockeystore's expert recommends the best sticks based on your level of ambition. We have selected sticks for seniors, but most models are also available for younger players.
