Hockey Stick Size Guide
Find the right stick for your game
Whether you're buying your child's first hockey stick or upgrading to a new one, choosing the correct length makes a real difference to comfort, control and technique.
What size hockey stick do I need?
The easiest way to start is with the player's age, but height is the more reliable guide. Children grow at different rates, so always check their height before choosing a stick.

How to check the fit
-
Stand the hockey stick upright beside the player, with the head resting on the floor.
-
For younger players, check whether the top of the handle reaches approximately the hip bone.
-
Make sure the player can hold and control the stick comfortably.
Should I buy a longer stick for my child to grow into?
Junior vs adult hockey sticks
Junior sticks are generally available in shorter lengths, up to approximately 35 inches. A 36.5-inch stick is the standard adult starting point, while 37.5-inch and longer sticks are available for players who prefer additional reach.
Individual manufacturers may classify their junior and adult models differently.
