Choosing the Right Hockey Stick Weight

Hockey Stick Weight – What Really Matters

The weight of a hockey stick has a direct impact on your performance: control, shot power, stickhandling, and stability all depend on how heavy your stick is. Many players make mistakes when choosing the right weight – often because they buy based on brand instead of performance.

In this guide, we show you which weight fits your style of play and what you should pay attention to.

Light, Medium or Heavy – What Fits You?

Fun Fact: Color Affects Weight!

A colored paint finish adds around 10g to your stick. Not much – but if every gram counts, you might want to think twice before going full color.

That’s why most top-level sticks have a minimalist design.

Which Weight Class Should You Choose?

✔ You’re a technical player and love puck control? → 325–350g
✔ You want balance and all-round performance? → 350–375g
✔ You play physical and need stability? → 375–400g
✔ You mainly want extra durability? → 425g+
