Goalie Sticks for Ice Hockey & Inline Hockey

Goalie sticks – also called keeper sticks or goalie paddles – are available in wood or composite/carbon. Composite is lighter, stiffer and absorbs vibrations, while wood provides a more classic feel. Ice hockey sticks are more robust for fast pucks on ice, inline models are usually lighter for indoor or outdoor surfaces. The largest selection of Bauer, CCM, Warrior or Sherwood goalie sticks can be found online at Hockeyoffice.

The paddle length is measured from the heel of the blade up to the start of the shaft. Always test with skates on. In the ready stance, the blade should lie flat on the ice and the blocker should slightly overlap the pad top. If the heel lifts → choose a longer paddle. If the toe lifts → choose a shorter paddle. A wide range of Bauer and CCM paddle sizes is available at Hockeyoffice.

Goalie sticks are measured in paddle length (inches) – from 18" for the smallest kids up to 27" for tall adult goalies. The following table shows a clear orientation by inch size, body height and age group. Always test in full equipment, as your stance can require half a size difference. The right selection of Bauer, CCM, Warrior and Sherwood goalie sticks is available at Hockeyoffice.

Pro tip: Always test paddle lengths with skates on. The blade should lie flat, blocker and pad top should slightly overlap. If you are between sizes, test both – Hockeyoffice offers every size from 18" to 27".

Regular goalies (catch glove left, stick right) use a left goalie stick. Full Right goalies (catch glove right, stick left) need a right goalie stick. In shops this is often labeled as “Regular” = left, “Full Right” = right. Hockeyoffice offers both options in all sizes and brands.

Composite goalie sticks are lighter, stiffer and more durable. Wooden sticks are cheaper and provide more feel, but wear out faster. Bauer, CCM and Warrior offer top models in both options. You can buy them directly at Hockeyoffice.

Beginner goalies benefit from light and durable composite sticks in intermediate or junior sizes. Price-performance tips: CCM Axis, Bauer GSX or Warrior Ritual models. They are stable, durable and more forgiving. The best beginner goalie sticks are available online at Hockeyoffice.

Durability depends on material, usage and level of play. Composite sticks for hobby goalies often last a whole season, pros change more often. Wood wears out faster. Regularly check blade, paddle edges and shaft for cracks. Replacement sticks from Bauer and CCM are always available online at Hockeyoffice.
