CCM's 55 flex is only one inch taller than a junior stick. Would that be good to use since the flex isnt that different?

I like the idea of a bigger blade, but I'll go to Purehockey and I'm pretty sure you can test the sticks on dryland tiles.

Are the kickpoints relatively the same? I know Nexus is mid and Jetspeed is hybrid but I'm not sure what is the best

I'll take your recommendation of a 50 flex stick. As for what line of stick, would you recommend Jetspeed or Nexus? I don't shoot farther than the top of the circles.

Thanks for your thoughts but it's hard for me to know because I don't have a set position and I play all positions. Overall, off skates when I try a junior stick its at my nose which seems to be a good height but I want the power that people say i will get from a higher flex stick.

I'm about 5'3 around 130 lbs and I don't know if I should be using a 50 flex or a 55 flex. I know the flex won't feel different but the height of the stick confuses me. I have been told that if I get a 55 flex and cut it down it will become around 60-65 and then my shot will be more powerful but the junior 50 flex stick is the height I need. Which one do yall think I need?

Thank you for the youtube channels. My hockey workouts are now more focused to bodyweight training and all of them are from hockey training. The free resources are really helpful and all I really need. No need to look up the instagram accounts because I don't have social media :)

Good idea!

To be honest, I don't really have the room for it inside or outside in the neighborhood to do so. I think what I have will work and a box can really be anything I can jump on. I do but I don't know I could get a rope on him 😂

I will make sure to check out the padding to see if its good for my play. I don't fall much but when I do its a big tumble so thanks for the heads up.

I just made a new schedule with everyone's tips and using the things above except a box and sled which I don't have.

Not sure if this is possible but I will make sure to try on as much gear as I can and see what fits when I go to a shop

I am a young teenager that when I was younger would workout on the elliptical or treadmill or take walks with family. Looked up "hockey workout schedule" and found this, has the idea of what you are talking about and might do that instead of the old schedule. https://www.relentlesshockey.com/post/creating-the-perfect-workout-for-hockey-players The website seems to have good things and will look around into it but I want to build a schedule that is easy to follow

I will check out the youtube page for sure. I was thnking of taking out the chest/shoulders/tricep days since that is not that important for hockey and will probably put a plyo/explosive movement work to replace it. Does it have to be hockey specific or does anything work well?

Thanks for the input. I will definitely go the a pro shop with an open mind. I know I will definitely try the girdles on though since they were a good fit for shoeshine boy.

I am a youth hockey player. I started working out about a week ago so I can get better for the fall since I am not doing summer hockey. I have a baseball net and a old whiteboard to shoot pucks, will probably upgrade later since the setup works. I have a schedule to workout and have been somewhat consistent with it but its hard because my days are not all the same. Monday (Chest, Shoulders, Triceps), Tuesday (Legs, Calfs), Wednesday (Rest), Thursday (Cardio), Friday (Back, Biceps, Forearms), Saturday (Rest day but usually hikes), Sunday (Cardio). Do you know any good hockey specific workouts or stickhandling drills I could do with minimal equipment? I really only have a workout bench, dumbbells, and cardio equipment, plus the shooting stuff mentioned above. I really want to get better I have been playing in a rec league for two years now (previously a figure skater 3 years but stopped before finding hockey) and have seen improvement because of good coaches but need to start taking initiative to get better myself. Thanks for any knowledge on the topic!

I will look into the Stark hockey gear. Looking at the Bauer girdles and see two options. Do you like the ACP Elite or the ACP Pro? I agree the women's sizing was crazy and didn't even want to check it out, its like a joke

I am a girl joining a travel A team. I am looking for new gear for more protection. I am also willing to look on Sidelineswap for older models also. My old is different pieces from Play It Again Sports, Sidelineswap, and neighbors. I don't have much experience buying new gear since its just guessing if it will fit and being okay with it. I want my gear to fit me properly. I am in the market for new shoulder, elbow, and shin pads, as well as pants/girdle. I think Bauer is my brand but I am open to using other brands also. I am not sure if I should look into Supreme or Vapor because I want protection since I block shots a lot. I play center, wing, and defense and I am a very fast skater. Definitely want very protective shin pads because I have been injured by a hard shot between the skate and the shinguard and that was not fun. For the breezers, I have had a hard time finding ones that fit me. I used the Supreme 2s Pros as my first pants, some random Bauer one on Sidelineswap that was too big, and I am using CCM pants from I don't know how long ago that fit the length but I have to keep tightening the strap on the ice since the waist seems too big. As a girl I don't know what pants will fit well, and I have looked up the CCM women's gear and many have submitted bad reviews on the fit and protectiveness. Thought a girdle would work since its tight fitting and would fit to my body snuggly so the pants don't fall while playing. I plan on going to a pro shop to try some gear on but would like to have an idea of what to try first. Any knowledge on this topic is helpful. Thanks!
