Youth sticks are for the youngest players, typically younger than 7 years old, with heights under 4'5" and weights under 74 pounds.
Elite level sticks are crafted with the latest technology to provide the highest performance. They are lighter, offer superior feel, improved balance, and enhanced pop or rebound. However, while they provide top-tier performance, they are usually far less durable.
Toe curves are perfect for aggressive stickhandling and precision shooting. They provide extra lift and control for deceptive moves and pinpoint shots, making them ideal for forwards. Examples of players using toe curves include Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.
Hockey sticks often go on sale for a few key reasons. The most common include the release of new models, prompting retailers to discount older inventory, and end-of-season sales aimed at clearing stock for upcoming product lines. Discontinued models and overstock issues also contribute to clearance pricing, as stores look to free up space for new arrivals. Additionally, sticks with less popular features may be marked down to attract buyers and move inventory quickly.
