Hockey Blades

The type of hockey stick you use can make a huge impact on how you play the game. Hockey Sticks are made up of two primary components; the shaft and the blade. Key elements of a hockey shaft are its length and its flex. The flexing action can add extra velocity to your shot so getting it right is important.

The other key components are hockey blades. Hockey blades come in many different styles. First steps in to know if you need a right handed or left handed curve. Then you dig into the curve pattern itself. Where does it curve, how much does it curve and how open is the angle on the front of the blade? If you can get these elements dialed in to your style of play, you will become a more effective weapon out on the ice.
