How long should your hockey stick be?

Hockey stick length can affect your performance on the ice. What is the best length of a hockey stick?

Typically, the rule of thumb is to have it between your upper lip and the bottom of your nose. Of course, personal preference plays a huge role in this. So, that’s just a rule of thumb.

Shorter sticks are better for control and accuracy. They can be especially beneficial to a young player who’s practicing their puck control skills.
Longer sticks will give you more leverage. This results in a more powerful shot. But you will sacrifice some puck control.

Lastly, the position you play will affect the length of the stick you may choose. Defencemen can benefit from a longer stick when poke checking. They can also get those powerful shots off from the point.
On the other hand, forwards may want a shorter stick. This is for better puck control and stick handling. It’s also for battling in tight along the boards and better accuracy on shots taken closer to the net.
When dealing with pro stock sticks, we get a good mix of stock height and extended height sticks. So, if you want the perfect length, shop at innerhockey.com.
