Youth sticks are for the youngest players, typically younger than 7 years old, with heights under 4'5" and weights under 74 pounds.
Recreational sticks are perfect for casual play. They are reliable and affordable, providing good performance without breaking the bank. These sticks are generally more durable, although they may lack the advanced features of higher-end models.
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.
