jpatt 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2019 I was wondering what is the ideal shaft length for a goalie stick? There is plenty of info on players’ sticks, but none on goalie sticks. I have Warrior 27.5 inch paddles with the Emery curve (RIP Ray.) They’re a couple of years old. I like them. But I often get the end of the shaft caught in the netting. Plus, I believe that if I cut the shaft down, it will be easier to stick handle? I cut my player sticks to my chin in bare feet and that helped immensely. A YouTube video recommended a bigger knob at the end to prevent the stick being caught in the netting. This makes sense. Thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ilyazhito 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2021 AFAIK, USA Hockey has followed NHL rules by limiting paddle length to 26 inches. How will this affect adult amateur goalies? About shaft length, I've been fine with the stock length on my Sherwood 9950 in ball hockey. I'll have to see if that translates to ice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
