What is Hockey Stick Length?

A hockey stick length refers to the measurement of a hockey stick from the heel of the blade to the end of the shaft. This length is crucial as it impacts a player's ability to handle the puck, shoot, and pass. The appropriate length varies depending on the player's height, position, and personal preference. Typically, when standing on skates, the top of the stick should reach between the player's chin and nose.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ HL = 180 \times 0.53 = 95.4 \]

The hockey stick length is 95.4 cm.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ HL = 170 \times 0.53 = 90.1 \]

The hockey stick length is 90.1 cm.
